Overview

Beyond the recent overarching focus of data security on defending the corporate network against threats from the Internet, and shaped by fundamental far-reaching changes in the business landscape, implementing information security today brings with it a new and broad set of challenges for the IT team and especially for key executives
such as the CIO and Chief Security Officer.

Further extending these challenges is the instrumental, although not immediately apparent, role of information security in a wide spectrum of business initiatives and processes. Notably, information security is

• at the heart of an organization’s ability to comply with the massive regulatory requirements now sweeping across countries and industries

• a vital component in an organization’s ability to reduce the business impact of natural, accidental, and man-made disasters and other disruptive events

In this environment, implementing information security — whether as a data security initiative in itself or as a pivotal element in a successful business initiative — requires an understanding of he direct implications of today’s challenges for IT teams and the executives who are accountable for security.

At Citrix, we believe that a strategic approach to implementing information security will yield the best results, with business benefits immediately and with flexibility for change over time.
