Few organizations can function effectively without IT systems supporting their key business processes; and many cannot function at all if their systems fail. Consequently every organization has systems which may be vulnerable to attack or failure. This can be due to flaws in the design of the systems, weak configuration settings, failure to apply security patches, or poor security management. Firewalls and anti-virus technologies are prone to vulnerabilities and, every day, hackers are developing new and more dangerous ways of exploiting security weaknesses.

Ultimately, unauthorized access to your systems and data could have serious operational, financial or legal implications, as well as damaging your reputation, often with devastating consequences.
