Description

Staffing and Cost

A shortage of qualified information security personnel puts tremendous pressure on IT departments to recruit, train, compensate, and retain critical staff . The cost of in-house network security specialists can be prohibitive.

Skills

An in-house staff member who only deals with security on a part-time basis or only sees a limited number of security incidents is probably not as competent as someone who is doing the same work full-time, seeing security impacts across several different clients, and crafting security solutions with broader applicability

Objectivity and Independence

An organization may have multiple, ad hoc solutions to handle the same types of security problems. There may be no enterprise-wide management of security or of strategy. Moving security to a capable security service provider may help simplify and strengthen the enterprise's security posture. Capital Region IT can provide an independent perspective on the security posture of an organization and help maintain a system of checks and balances with in-house personnel. We can often provide an integrated, more coherent solution, thereby eliminating redundant effort, hardware, and software

Security Awareness

It is difficult for an organization to track and address all potential threats and vulnerabilities as well as attack patterns, intruder tools, and current best security practices. Capital Region IT is often able to obtain advance warning of new vulnerabilities and gain early access to information on countermeasures. We can advise on how other organizations handle the same types of security problems.
