An effective IP security policy is, therefore, essential from a business, financial, legal and technical standpoint.

CCSI believes the key lies in knowing that your entire IP infrastructure is inherently secure and protected from disruption. A strategic approach to security enables your organization to reap full reward from its network investment.

An IP security solution provides the foundation to help your organization improve business continuity and protect your network as you implement solutions to increase workforce effectiveness, extend the enterprise and enhance customer care. It is also a key element in enabling organizations to develop into converged 'real-time enterprises', a growing priority for organizations across all business sectors.

The Business Impact The business impact of IP security is not just a technical issue. It is a process that recognizes the impact security threats have on your organization's performance and profitability. Because networked services make such an important contribution to productivity, customer service and competitiveness, employees, customers, partners and suppliers demand the highest levels of service 24/7.

High operational uptime is essential, making network security best practice a top priority. Concerns over the risk of security breaches can delay implementation of the Internet-based solutions companies need in order to stay competitive.

Complete Confidence Many security threats such as accidental breaches, malicious attacks, employee sabotage, viruses, hackers, fraud and computer crime, have been well documented. Less attention, however, has been given to the newer types of risk created by the extended enterprise and increased employee mobility, making many traditional perimeter security increasingly ineffective.

As networks change and converge, a policy-based approach to security is vital.
