Everybody knows the threat landscape is constantly evolving but, according to attendees at a recent ARN round table, the approach taken by the IT industry needs to do the same. “All too often in mid-sized organisations security is seen as a negative because it’s an inhibitor to the business” Network Box’s Keith Glennan “Connecting it to a commercial arena enables a partner to do risk profiling” Check Point’s Scott McKinnel “A lot of businesses we deal with are grappling with the fact that the perimeter is disappearing” Fujitsu’s Brendan Smith “In IT there are still too many people protecting their patch and they need to grow up a little bit” Klikon Solutions’ Daniel Smith “People believe a problem is no longer a threat once a solution has been put in place” Matrix CNI’s Deni Saupin “The outsourcer creates an SLA where everything is beautiful and the business likes the idea but isn’t willing to pay for it” Dimension Data’s Anthony Stitt “Keeping security in-house means they are in control and have the flexibility to make changes” TippingPoint’s Sean Abbott “There are applications that come online outside of the traditional food chain that can open very large holes” AirMagnet’s Jesse Frankel “There’s room for resellers to review what policy has defined and what’s actually been implemented” Priority One Solutions’ Marc Jolly “Smaller organisations need solutions that give them a bit of control” WatchGuard’s Scott Robertson “We’re seeing customers outsource firewalls from the security group to the networking group” Blue Coat’s Wayne Neich “You are asking them to do stuff so nothing happens and that’s a massive mind shift” Firewall Systems’ Nick Verykios “As an industry we need to build security into the business process so infrastructure is inherently secure” IBM’s Dermot McCann
