Information is the engine of business and governments, and they need to ensure that it is always secure and always available throughout the enterprise. Thus, system management and security management are both essential high-priority IT operational requirements. Key issues include reduction of downtime, improved user administration of internal and external policies, proactive security, incident management, patch and change management, problem management, and achieving better service levels for distributed and Web applications. These trends are leading enterprises to consider convergence strategies that combine or integrate key elements of system and security management. Storbase believes that convergence strategies for system and security management hold the promise of enormous benefits.

Every day seems to bring IT organizations new threats and complexities that prevent them from delivering reliable information services to their customers. Because of the systems' complexity, continual security threats, regulatory compliance pressure, and customer demands, maintaining service contracts for desktop, server, storage, application and data uptime can be overwhelming

Storbase works with clients to build proactive management strategies that converge systems, security, and storage management to provide greater business continuity, reduce disruption and to improve employee productivity.

Enterprise Messaging

Email is a mission critical application. The increasing reliance on e-mail is bringing security and information privacy into the spotlight as these issues are proving to be a roadblock to more widespread use of email by businesses and government bodies, especially when the email messages contain confidential information.

Email security differs greatly from traditional network security, which uses tools such as firewalls, VPN and intrusion detection. Because email is deemed safe traffic, every email good or bad passes through the firewall and enters the enterprise network. And because most email threats spam, phishing, viruses etc. are sent with a profit motive, spammers and hackers continually create new threats.

Organizations that fail to prevent the inflow of undesirable email simply pass the cost on to the end-user. Spam drains employee productivity as workers waste time reading, deleting or even responding to the unsolicited emails. Viruses can take down user PC's, impacting productivity and creating paranoia about using email. Denial of Service and other attacks targeting mail servers slow business to a crawl as communication with customers, partners and employees grind to a halt. With such attacks, customers complain about unresponsiveness, partners lose touch, and sales executives wonder if they have missed an order.

The recent wave of federal regulations affects almost every enterprise with new requirements to protect and secure information in all forms. These laws are broadly written and rarely mention specific technologies, but the need to protect email is strongly implied.

Storbase helps clients plan and deploy the most flexible and powerful email security management measures available. And, Storbase helps organizations to address enterprise email security and email regulatory compliance needs without imposing any significant administrative burden.
