Security & Compliance
As more data is now being stored and transported in electronic format the IT department has an active involvement in enforcing company polices. They need to be able to assist the business ensuring that the industry legislation and regulations are met. These policies are designed to mitigate financial and operational risk, and the organisation must be able to produce evidence that these polices are being enforced. The building block of these policies is based upon law and self imposed regulations to protect the business.

Today security involves more than just preventing or dealing with virus and worm attacks. Rogue applications such as pier to pier, gaming, spambots or zombies can soak up bandwidth needed by business critical applications forcing unnecessary purchases or additional bandwidth. Not knowing who is attached to the network or who has accessed a particular service can leave the organisation open to various forms of liability or even represent a security hole for the theft of corporate intellectual rights.
