The Natural Order Of Security Yields The Greatest Benefits

by Steve Hunt

with Jonathan Penn, Natalie Lambert

This is an excerpt

Executive Summary

The adoption of security has a natural order: 1) authentication; 2) authorization; 3) administration; and 4) audit. By being sensitive to this order, organizations can reap several benefits. First, by building security programs in harmony with this natural order, organizations will make more efficient and effective buying decisions, implement better security processes and controls, and improve their security posture while probably reducing expenses. Second, most companies wrestle with similar security challenges at about the same time, meaning that larger market trends follow the same order. And along these lines, sellers of security products and services can take advantage of the natural order by focusing their product development and marketing efforts on current and approaching trends.
