Ministry of Defence

The MoD admits16 information leaks in the last 18 months were due to social networking use.

A joint investigation has led to revelations that Ministry of Defence staff and military personnel leaked secret information 16 times on social networking websites and internet forums in the last 18 months.

Downloads of illegal software and music at work increases by 55 per cent.

Securapro patch management

Product overview

As IT environments have become increasingly complex, supporting virtual, distributed and disparate platforms, companies must ensure that they maintain control of their information and system management. IT organisations often manage multiple point-based technologies, which add complexity and cost. A new approach is required to simplify the IT environment and ensure enhanced security and IT risk management with the lowest total cost of ownership possible.

Such a solution is particularly important to effectively manage and implement the flood of software vulnerabilities, patches and configurations to reduce your threat exposure. With software companies shortening application and OS lifecycles and prematurely releasing versions, the number of bugs and design flaws is growing exponentially. Plus, the proliferation of Web 2.0 and social networking have created new avenues to introduce malware into the workplace.

Securapro delivers an end-to-end suite of solution capabilities across endpoint operations, security, compliance and IT risk management to reduce complexity, optimize TCO, improve visibility and deliver control back to IT. It significantly decreases the costs involved in securing and reducing IT risk across your organisation from worms, Trojans, viruses and other malicious threats and provides:

• A single, intuitive management console for easy patch and remediation administration across multiple platforms, including Windows, Unix, Linux and Mac OS, as well as many applications
• Integrated asset discovery for full network visibility and continuous control across both physical and virtual environments
• Automated policy baselines to ensure that patches, configurations, remediations, and other tasks are continuously enforced
