Vistorm unveils its Executive Dashboard

Managed security services specialist claims the Dashboard will arm firms with a more accurate understanding of business risks

Managed security services specialist Vistorm has unveiled the latest addition to its fast-growing product portfolio: the Executive Dashboard.

The firm, which recently revealed plans to recruit its own channel to push its Unified Threat Management services further into the SME space (CRN, 20 November), claimed that the Dashboard arms firms with a more accurate understanding of the risks their businesses face.

Using its Information Assurance (IA) model, which builds a profile of each customer and assesses their current position with regards to security (CRN, 26 June), Vistorm said the Dashboard can also give firms a visual approach to risk management.

Dan Turner, general manager of Vistorm, said: “Businesses operate under a relentless security threat and it’s hard to keep track of all the risks faced across an organisation. Our IA appraisal uses in-house expertise to answer key questions affecting firms on external threats, corporate governance and compliance. With the Executive Dashboard, end-users can quickly see where dangers lie and how severe they are.”

Bob Tarzey, service director at Quocirca, said: “In today’s world, risk management needs to be an integral part of enterprise IT security. To be effective, this has got to encompass compliance and governance, as well as recognising conventional IT security threats.”
