Keeping your security immune system in check

Thinking of your IT Security like an immune system helps to visualize the mutlifaceted requirements for a strong security posture. IBM uses this analogy with regards to their solutions for prevention, defense, and remediation.

And just like an individual getting a physical, enterprise IT systems can also benefit from a regular check up. While some health checks may be high level (like our security posture assessment quiz above), they're typically free and meant to start a conversation. Other assessments may be more detailed and billed as a project meant to provide more specific and actionable results.

Another option is to have a "health app" for daily monitoring. In this analogy, a Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) is like your Watch, monitoring your IT security health in real time. And similar to health app reminders, an MSSP ensures your system is tuned and up to date on patching - improving your security posture.
