Quality Assurance
Quality assurance belongs to every industrial enterprise as standard. At many companies the aim is "99.99%". This means that only one in 10,000 products is allowed to demonstrate a fault. Quality is checked, controlled, and improved permanently by way of fixed, defined processes.
"Protection level - State of the Art, "Budget - How much should it be allowed to cost?", "Status meetings - 1x a quarter".... How is your company organized? What percentage of the overall IT security budget do companies invest in monitoring and quality assurance for IT security?
Many companies have no transparency in IT security. They have no idea what the current level of protection is on their systems, because the quality of their IT security is not checked by a Security Level Management.
Quality assurance in IT Security requires clarity concerning the actual status of all the IT security systems in place, and the continual comparison of the actual status against a previously defined target status. Only when all the weak spots in the network are identified immediately is it possible to initiate measures to close the gaps.
AMPEG Security Lighthouse represents the binding link between management and IT operations. It places the security management team and security officer in a position to secure the quality of IT security. As a cross-application management console, AMPEG Security Lighthouse captures the data from all security-relevant technical systems, compares it with the target values defined by the security officer, publishes the results in clearly structured charts, and on the Security Information Map. IT operations can access the current security level status across the whole corporate network, giving it the chance to react at a much earlier point in time.
The quicker and the more precisely deviations are identified, the quicker and the more precisely security officers can introduce measures for improvement. The result is permanent residual risk minimization.
