Security & Risk Management Solutions

As organizations aim to gain ever-greater benefits from the use of information and communication technology solutions, security becomes a fundamental enabler.

Constituent demands are driving organizations to reach deeper into broader markets, enable unprecedented access to corporate resources, connect and share valuable information across distributed communities – and to do so while driving incremental operational efficiencies. At the same time, organizations must achieve these goals in an environment of tightening regulatory and legislative measures. A solid security posture, which includes a mix of business strategy alignment, process and governance discipline and effective use of technology, creates a foundation upon which to execute aggressively on your priorities – in essence, effective security delivers “the confidence to act”.

Allstream Security & Risk Management Solutions provide you with comprehensive information and communication technology security offerings to ensure your organizational assets are:

• Protected from breach or loss
• Accessible to the right people
• Sustainable and available
• Compliant with regulatory and legislative measures

We achieve these results by bringing to bear a breadth of business and technology security consulting expertise, proven methodologies, leading vendor solutions, extensive best practices and managed services and support.

Our Approach

Although many organizations approach security on a device by device basis, this tends to be a costly and resource inefficient strategy that can increase your exposure to threats and attacks and potentially reduce both your stakeholder confidence and your business performance. To avoid these results, it’s essential to approach security in a comprehensive and enterprise-wide fashion.

For more than a decade, Allstream has developed and deployed precisely these types of integrated security solutions. To help you address the full range of your critical business issues, Allstream’s integrated approach to security is founded on two key activities:

• Security through exclusion – to defend your enterprise from threats, loss and liability, and
• Security through inclusion – to extend your enterprise’s capabilities by increasing secure access to corporate resources

By addressing these two areas in a comprehensive manner, security and risk management become strategic to creating a trusted environment, enhancing secure online service delivery and increasing operational efficiencies. The result is a proactive model that provides your organization with the ability to recognize all its security needs, prioritize them realistically and implement solutions that solidly balance business acumen, technology expertise and operational viability.
