Threat and Vulnerability Management Services Business Case

Content starts here

Connectivity has led to a more mobile workforce. Frequently, despite policies and rules to the contrary, employees use laptops, smart phones, portable storage devices and the Internet to move business and personal files between work and home.

This convergence has made your system more available to computer viruses, spyware and malware. Worse than the disruption of your system is the computer-driven attacks on your data. Your intellectual capital, plans and customer information are now targets for criminals, hackers and organized crime.

If your system is not secure, your company’s bottom line and reputation are at risk. To protect shareholders and stakeholders, you must take a proactive approach to securing all endpoint devices that access your computer systems.

HP Threat & Vulnerability Management Services detects threats, uncovers vulnerabilities and secures desktops, laptops and servers against viruses, spyware, malware and unauthorized intrusions.

A Layered Approach To Counter Threats and Eliminate Vulnerabilities

HP Threat & Vulnerability Management Services is a managed service that delivers a secure desktop/laptop/server environment by creating defensive layers supported by real-time threat management. HP Threat & Vulnerability Management Services:

  • Identifies threats and points of vulnerability so you can protect them
  • Translates requirements into a robust, scalable architecture solution
  • Deploys, operates and supports applications and infrastructure to assure continued protection

This model accounts for inside threats and promotes workflow, unlike the old way of managing security by building a strong perimeter and hiding from outside menaces.

Proactive and Reactive Security Measures

The basic level of HP Threat & Vulnerability Management Services includes assessment, evaluation, design, implementation of a managed solution plus an antivirus (AV) component. Anti-spyware (AS) and personal firewall (PF) protection components are also available.

  • Antivirus cleans and contains virus infections and outbreaks
  • Anti-spyware quarantines and removes spyware
  • Personal firewall prevents attacks and intrusions

To counter the current threat environment, all three security measures, in combination with centralized policy management, are recommended. Optional consulting services are available to address any nonstandard requirements.

Protect Your Corporate Reputation

Growth in the global economy demands connectivity. Shielding corporate information and customer data from abuse is essential to protecting your relationships and brand equity. Yet you want to be able to put your intellectual capital and customer data to work and even gain from collaboration with partners, vendors and suppliers in a safe environment.

Preventing data breaches prevents:

  • Loss of brand equity
  • Lost sales
  • Legal action
  • A decline in market value
  • Loss of compliance

HP keeps your antivirus, anti-spyware and personal firewall software components current to minimize the likelihood of new attacks succeeding.

Minimize Risks and Reduce Costs

HP Threat & Vulnerability Management Services actively tests for weaknesses and blocks the latest viruses, malware, spyware, phishing and intrusion exploits. This focus on prevention reduces risk and expenses related to:

  • Downtime
  • Recovery time
  • Putting out “fires“

Our fast incident response, standard implementation and integrated solutions also help reduce the costs of mitigating disruptions and software patches.

Improve Productivity and Increase Organizational Efficiency

Increase organizational efficiency through TVM prioritized risk management and elimination of ad hoc patching. These features enable a faster response to emerging security needs:

  • Predefined processes

  • Integrated tools

By spending less time patching and reacting to attacks, your staff will have more time to devote to your core business.
