How Security Triumphs All the Loops
Prosperity brings mischief trying to find a way around it, to cut short his/her effort to road towards success. All humans are not hard working and all are not equally smart. Some does hard work and some does smart work. In between comes the one trying to steal their hard earned fruit of success. Computer was invented to prevent a world war. And gradually it was also being misused for personal gains by individuals; group’s misinterpreting the meaning of the world revolutions or simply to eliminate the competition by using unethical means. To counter this situation cybersecurity services came into light.
With the disease comes the cure with the theft came the security. The kind of security which is not present physically but virtually preventing leak of your data, business information, software, risk management and the list goes on. From a business point of view GRC security (Governance, Risk and Compliance) is the most important factor. As the name suggest it’s a three component factor:
Governance: IT solutions are incorporated in such a way that organizational goals are achieved in a symbiotic way.
Risk and Compliance Management: Risk and compliance goes together. Means it is to make sure that all the risk involved in a business model or organizational goals are addressed and eliminated at the same time. To safe guard the information using IT solutions. To make sure the goals are being met within laws and rules affecting those operations. Means IT is embedded into the business.
This gave rise to the need of a cybersecurity consultant. Since the task was to embed a self running system into another system, it required need help of a professional. It is not meaningful to do something with half knowledge resulting in bad results, cyber thefts of important information. The consultant role is to both defend and offend any threats against the IT infrastructure of an organization, the need to attack the weakness persisting within the system to secure them against any future invasion. With ever evolving threats requires ever evolving solutions.
It is an interesting field to be in, since it requires specialized skill and education to work with. HCL Tech has proven their metal on a several such occasions. The kind of integrity required in such areas also needs an element of trust. A kind of trust on the services that lets you sleep peacefully in the night.
