Today's leaders face multiple challenges, including the need to innovate in extremely competitive conditions, address dynamic regulatory and compliance challenges, speed returns on investments to counter shrinking IT budgets, and secure the enterprise against a barrage of new and evolving sophisticated threats. However, unlike other business challenges, organizations often take a technology-driven approach to securing their infrastructure, when a risk-based, business-driven approach is more effective.
