Application security: Apps require constant updates and testing to ensure these programs are secure from attacks.
Cloud security: Many files are in digital environments or “the cloud”. Protecting data in a 100% online environment presents a large amount of challenges.
Data security: Inside of networks and applications is data. Protecting company and customer information is a separate layer of security.
Database and infrastructure security: Everything in a network involves databases and physical equipment. Protecting these devices is equally important.
Endpoint security: Remote access is a necessary part of business, but can also be a weak point for data. Endpoint security is the process of protecting remote access to a company’s network.
Identity management: Essentially, this is a process of understanding the access every individual has in an organization.
IoT Security: Ensure the integrity and security of data from sensors and other connected devices. Device identity management is a key consideration to secure IoT devices.
Mobile security: Cell phones and tablets involve virtually every type of security challenge in and of themselves.
Network security: The process of protecting the network from unwanted users, attacks and intrusions.
