Security experts claim that 100% of the costly and embarrassing information security and privacy breaches of the past 5 years were preventable.
Toronto, Ontario, August 14, 2008– Toronto-based Informatica Security introduces its improved FlexProtect 365â„¢ security consulting and support solution to the Canadian market. Based on industry standards and incorporating a complete array of best practices, the FlexProtect solution is delivered by experienced, certified professionals.
Informatica’s president, Claudiu Popa is an authority on information risk management and advises executives on the risks their organizations face with respect to compliance, privacy and security. “Over the past few years, few industries have been spared from spectacularly embarrassing and costly security breaches. With our new solution, every organization can mitigate the risks it faces while keeping IT and security budgets under controlâ€.
The last few years have seen an increase in security breaches that range from misdirected financial faxes to stolen health data. This indicates that the value of corporate information assets is taking centre stage as firms are scrambling to address their individual weaknesses. The FlexProtect solution is applicable to the multifaceted challenges faced by all industries, including financial services, healthcare, services and non-profit sectors.
Mr. Popa believes that by adopting the FlexProtect 365 solution, organizations stand to boost their protective security envelope while containing costs: “the beauty of our solution is that it leverages your existing technology investments and your human resources to close compliance and security gaps in every firm’s armorâ€. Traditional security management solutions offer little more than junior support provided as an off-site, outsourced solution. By combining expert consulting and management support with policy enforcement and awareness, the FlexProtect solution is the only complete framework on the market that truly embodies security management.
Informatica’s management consultants, IT experts, information risk professionals are certified and experienced in the delivery of flawless compliance solutions whose applicability ensures immediate cost savings along with a scalable framework that spans the enterprise.
