Attain Insight: Enforcing Security through Robust Access Control

The growing swamp of knowledge and technology has greatly impacted the security of valuable organizational data and information assets. Changing business priorities, regulations and industry standards, as well as the proliferation of advanced malicious attacks have all affected the task of securing crucial business data. Most often, CIOs and CSOs are entrusted with the responsibility of protecting these ‘crown jewels’. For a good number of firms, the decision-process on where to act involves selection and prioritization of security risks. The factors involved even in just selecting which risks to mitigate is getting complicated quickly. The secret to achieving optimal levels of protection lies in having good access control systems—systems that have the ability to provide effective control over all the methods of information access. Attain Insight has built its business around analytics, location intelligence and the implementation of robust access control systems to help customers address compliance and privacy concerns. As a trusted IBM Gold Business Partner, Attain Insight aims to protect knowledge assets in a more proven and efficient way.

The company hosts solutions that deal with managing production systems in a world of growing cyber threats. While many organizations are looking at insider threat detection as a key priority it is important to recognize that acting on such intelligence is only sustainable when complete and accurate control over system access exists.
