Adopt a robust security posture

According to Forrester Research (Which Canadian Bank Leads In Online Banking Adoption?, Forrester Research, Inc., October 2005.), 56% of Canadian households banked online during 2005. While this represents good news for Canadian banks, it also underscores a critical challenge: The need to enhance system security and adopt rigorous fraud control measures. Other trends also contribute to the need for improved security - from greater reliance on multiple channels and more stringent regulatory controls to ongoing hacker attacks and viruses.

Truly effective security demands a pervasive model in which accountability is pushed to all parts of the organization and "security think" is infused at all stages of the business lifecycle. To achieve these objectives, you need strong governance, dynamic policies and a clear understanding of the real threats associated with any initiative.

Allstream uses a multi-disciplinary approach to review an organization's IT Security. We consider organizational business drivers, legal requirements, economic conditions, market trends, and the overall business context in which the organization operates. Allstream also reviews and evaluates security policies and stands, and the technology used to deliver IT Security within the organization.

Allstream's Security Strategy and Planning professionals use industry standard methodologies and practices combined with extensive hands-on experience to help you define your security priorities and implement the appropriate processes and management tools.

With organizations struggling with staffing and funding challenges, Allstream can help extend applications across the enterprise that enable organizations to integrate clients, suppliers, partners and employees into their business processes while controlling an organization's exposure to threats and liabilities. We do this by combining products, services and management expertise into end-to-end solutions.

To assist organizations, Allstream will outline the corporate approach and commitment to protecting information assets, the standards to adopt and the security model to be established. By assigning clear responsibilities for security governance, this approach ensures security policies are consistently applied both at the management and staff levels.

Given the complexity of today's security products mix, Allstream's IT Security team has proven experience and solid expertise working with a broad portfolio of technologies. This helps organizations understand how and when technology can simplify programs in IT security and make it more efficient.
