Expanding its security research capabilities, BindView
Corp. (NASDAQ:BVEW) announced today new members and additional
capabilities for its highly regarded RAZOR team. As organizations
bridge the gap between IT security and compliance requirements, RAZOR
is augmenting its core security capabilities with new IT security
compliance experts. In addition to providing protective updates for
the latest threats and vulnerabilities, RAZOR now adds IT security
compliance research and expertise to its core offerings.
According to recent surveys by Gartner(1) and the InfoPro(2),
enterprise organizations are merging security and compliance into the
management of IT infrastructures to meet expanding regulatory
requirements. The compliance expertise added to RAZOR, coupled with
its refined scope, provides BindView customers with cutting edge
research and expert advice for the convergence of IT security and
compliance.
"Global organizations are in the midst of a precarious juggling
act as regulatory mandates drive a shift in resources from a pure IT
security focus to IT security and compliance," said BindView Vice
President of Field Marketing Chris Smith. "RAZOR research cuts through
the clutter and confusion of security and compliance issues with a
balanced approach to protecting organizations while defining,
controlling and sustaining compliance requirements."
