UK based BT has updated its Assure security portfolio with new enhancements which are designed to help organisations address security issues and protect the trust required for businesses.
The new upgrades focus on the risks posed by presence of personal devices on corporate networks, the large scale deployment of cloud applications and the challenges of ‘big data and the large amounts of unstructured data inherent in contemporary commerce.
The new upgrades include: Assure Secure Web, Assure Analytics, Assure Cyber, Mobility Lifecycle Management and Assure eValuator.
Assure Secure Web offers customers a uniform web access policy for all remote devices while Assure Cyber offers controls-oriented approach to security incident and event management (SIEM).
Assure Analytics brings to life in real-time the potential threats and outcomes faced by businesses, helping them make the right decisions for effective policies. This is made possible by BT’s data analytics and visualisation system.
Mobility Lifecycle Management covers employee- or company-owned devices, with access rules, role-based usage, remote wipe, and cloud updates. It establishes a framework covering several mobile devices.
Assure eValuator allows customers and prospects to see how their state of security readiness compares to typical enterprises, and helps steer them towards the areas of most pressing concern. It also assesses the three elements of security; people, processes and technology.
The output of the eValuator provides customers with a detailed view of their readiness in key areas which will help them to prioritize their security spend and activities.
