Technology Selection
There are a wide range of Information Security products on the market. Selecting and implementing the right solution can be a minefield for an enterprise. The market-leading products may not be compatible with your architecture, or may not be scalable to your organisational infrastructure. The most obviously compatible may not be the best of breed. You will almost certainly have to make compromises, but you need to ensure those compromises are supported by expert advice.
Having selected and procured a product, getting that product to work in your environment will not necessarily be an easy task.
