Intellitactics Hosts Podcast on Security Spending; Independent Research Firm Analyst Khalid Kark Speaks with Intellitactics on “How to Justify Spending and Communicate Effective Programs”
Security Metrics, Meaningful Reports and Proactive Security Practices Are Essential to Effective Security ProgramsReston, VA, March 8, 2007—Intellitactics today announced a new series of podcasts entitled “First Person” that will cover ten topics related to enterprise security management and feature experts in the areas of management, compliance, and security technology. The first podcast in the series is “Security Spending On The Rise – How to Justify Spending and Communicate Effective Programs.” Khalid Kark, Senior Security Analyst with Forrester Research, discusses the state of security spending in North America. Central to his guidance is how to use security metrics, actionable reports, and proactive security practices to get more from security spending and justify future investment.
“Companies and federal agencies alike are discovering that spending more doesn’t necessarily translate into increased security effectiveness,” explains Pamela Casale, Chief Marketing Officer with Intellitactics. “Security continues to be a top priority, but there is never enough money or resources to do everything. Forrester’s advice and guidance is valuable for every manager who is looking to increase visibility for security programs.”
Commenting on the podcast series, Casale said, “We regularly invest in programs that deliver education and information sharing opportunities for all security professionals. This podcast featuring a Forrester analyst is a great start. Upcoming podcasts will cover topics like fraud management, achieving security ROI, and the new breed of security issues challenging companies and government agencies.”
