At pennies per virtual machine-hour, the economics of cloud computing are both compelling and daunting to replicate. Whether you are building your own cloud infrastructure, building a public cloud or choosing a cloud service, there are key strategy and technology decisions that make the difference between success and failure.

MetricStream hat heute bekannt gegeben, dass das Unternehmen in dem KuppingerCole Vendor Report mit dem Titel „MetricStream: Bridging the Gap Between Business GRC and IT GRC“ („MetricStream: die Brücke zwischen Business-GRC und IT-GRC“) als Firma mit starken Lösungen für Governance, Risk und Compliance (GRC, Unternehmensführung, Risikomanagement und Compliance) aufgeführt wurde. Der Bericht wurde von KuppingerCole, einem führenden europäischen Analyseunternehmen für Informationssicherheit in klassischen Umgebungen und in der Cloud, herausgegeben.
Durch Analyse der IT-GRC-Branche werden die Herausforderungen bei Sicherheit und Compliance herausgehoben, die sich für Unternehmen aufgrund der vermehrten Nutzung von Virtualisierungstechnologien und externen IT-Services stellen, sowie die neu entstehenden Anforderungen an die Compliance. Laut dem Bericht „befinden sich Unternehmen in der Situation, dass sie hinsichtlich nach außen gerichteter Prozesse, der Nutzer und der verwendeten IT-Services mit exponentiellen Veränderungen konfrontiert sind“. Was Unternehmen heute brauchen, ist eine IT-GRC-Lösung, die bei geschäftlichen Veränderungen flexibel ist, sich mit der Unternehmens-GRC integriert, entstehende Risiken bei der Informationssicherheit und Compliance managt und die Unternehmens-Performance überwacht.
Risiken bei IT- und Cybersicherheit sind für die meisten europäischen Unternehmen ein wachsender Grund zur Beunruhigung. Mit zunehmender Aufmerksamkeit der Medien für Datenschutz und Datenpannen wächst bei europäischen Unternehmen das Bewusstsein für das Risiko von Datenlecks bei der heutigen dichteren Nachrichtenumgebung und ihrem Einfluss auf das Geschäftsleben.
Nach Untersuchung des IT-GRC-Markts heißt es bei KuppingerCole, dass das starke und integrierte Portfolio von GRC-Lösungen von MetricStream mit klar bestimmten Kontrollmöglichkeiten, Sicherheitsfunktionen für Risiken und Bedrohungen durch soziale Netzwerke, Cloud- und Virtualisierungstechnologien sowie Kapazitäten ausgestattet ist, mit deren Hilfe Unternehmen Informationssicherheit, IT-Risiken und Unternehmens-GRC miteinander verbinden können, um die geschäftlichen Leistungen zu steigern.
Vasant Balasubramanian, Vice President für Produktmanagement bei MetricStream, sagt dazu: „Der Bericht von KuppingerCole ist ein Zeugnis unserer umfangreichen Kapazitäten bei IT-GRC und der Innovationen, die wir auf den Markt gebracht haben, um komplexen Sicherheits- und Compliance-Risiken in einer immer stärker virtualisierten und mobilen Welt gerecht zu werden. Mit den IT-GRC-Lösungen von MetricStream können Unternehmen GRC-Prozesse firmenweit in Übereinstimmung bringen, Prozesse der IT-GRC an solche der Unternehmens-GRC anpassen und Bottom-Up-IT-Control-Prozesse mit Top-Down-Risiko-Intelligence integrieren.“
Mit der Übernahme der vPanorama-Cloud-GRC-Technologie gestattet es MetricStream seinen Kunden, Einhaltung von Regeln (regulatorische Compliance), Datenschutzanforderungen, Sicherheitsbedrohungen, Risiken durch Schwachstellen sowie Steuerungsgrößen innerhalb eines Gesamtspektrums virtueller Assets in der Cloud sowie die virtuelle Infrastruktur vor Ort zu managen.
Martin Kuppinger, Unternehmensgründer und leitender Analyst bei KuppingerCole, sagt: „Aus der IT-Perspektive hat die GRC den Schritt von technischen, systemorientierten Ansätzen hin zur Informations- und Service-Governance vollzogen. Auf der Grundlage von Parametern wie Sicherheit, Funktionalität, Benutzerfreundlichkeit, Integrationsfähigkeit und Interoperabilität fanden wir die IT-GRC-Lösungen von MetricStream gut durchdacht und ausgereift. Die Plattform unterstützt auch den Bedarf von Unternehmen und integriert sich in andere Punktlösungen für IT-Sicherheit und GRC, um einen allumfassenden Ansatz für Unternehmens-GRC zu bieten.“
Der Report empfiehlt auch, dass Unternehmen auf der Suche nach GRC-Lösungen die Anbieter von GRC-Lösungen sorgfältig überprüfen. Wörtlich heißt es in dem Bericht: „Es gibt unterschiedliche Anbieter mit völlig unterschiedlichen Angeboten. Während einige davon Lösungen für Unternehmens-GRC anbieten, die sich auf spezifische Geschäftsaspekte konzentrieren und die IT-GRC ignorieren, gibt es andere, die Unternehmens-GRC mit Unterstützung von IT-Kontrollen anbieten und sich in spezifische IT-GRC-Lösungen integrieren. Unternehmen müssen GRC-Anbieter daher auf der Grundlage der Frage überprüfen und analysieren, ob ihre Leitpläne an die Entwicklungen in der Unternehmenslandschaft angepasst sind und ob die aktuellen Angebote ausgereift genug sind, um den wechselnden geschäftlichen Bedarf von Unternehmen zu unterstützen.“
Vasant Balasubramanian sagt weiter: „MetricStream kann auf eine gute Erfolgsbilanz beim Anbieten von IT-GRC-Lösungen auf dem europäischen Markt verweisen; die aktuellste davon ist die Umsetzung der Lösung eines der weltweit größten internationalen Anbieter von Online-Sportwetten. Dies wird dem Verständnis von MetricStream für globale Märkte und für den spezifischen GRC-Bedarf von Unternehmen an unterschiedlichen Standorten zugeschrieben.“

By Elizabeth White You're getting pitched every day from your legacy enterprise software and hardware vendors about "cloud." They're doing an amazing job of convincing your CIO and CTO about what cloud is and how you should use it. The reality is they're defending their shrinking market share and keeping you on the legacy treadmill for as long as they can by selling you solutions that aren't "cloud."

By Jeremy Geelan The rise of cloud computing has exposed hard drive-based storage as the new data center bottleneck. Combating this, data center managers have deployed SSDs to gain the performance needed to provide real-time access to data. However, due to budget constraints, many have turned to consumer-grade SSDs without understanding that they wear out quickly when processing enterprise workloads. In this session, Esther Spanjer will discuss recent endurance advancements in SSD technology that enable usage of...May. 25, 2013 10:00 AM EDT Reads: 2,748 |
