With belt tightening taking place in every industry around the globe, spending on information security is likely to be scrutinized more than ever. Yet cyber crime is also likely to grow dramatically as desperate hackers seek out vulnerable institutions that may yield quick and easy results.

How do you ensure the security of information assets within limited budgets? The answer is in the efficient allocation of funds and a studied evaluation of your assets and security controls:

• Inventory every information asset, by location, type and department.
• Classify each asset’s sensitivity based on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
• Prioritize each asset based on its threat risk.
• Apply appropriate security controls.
• Receive third-party assessments in penetration testing, audits, and vulnerability assessments to determine your level of security and where there is need for improvement.

You can ensure a secure environment for our organization’s information, even in today’s uncertain and tight budgets. Contact ERM today at 305-447-6750 for more details.
