At A2Z Computer Services, we have adopted the Federal Emergency Management Agency's mission by using their cornerstones, which are;
Mitigation, Preparedness, Response and Recovery.
- Mitigation is described as taking steps to minimize the likelihood of an event actually occurring.
- Preparedness involves having plans in place in the event of an incident so a quick response can be facilitated.
- Response is put in place when the incident is detected. It allows us to implement those plans that are already in place.
- Recovery brings everything back to normal operation in a timely manner.
When you employ our consulting services, you can be assured that we will integrate each of the four cornerstones into our vision.
Whatever your environment, we advise you to take computer information security very serious. Many organizations make the
mistake of underestimating the value of their information technology (IT) environment generally because they exclude substantial indirect costs.
If an attack on the servers in your environment is severe enough, it could greatly damage the entire organization. For
example, an attack in which your corporate Web site is brought down and causes a major loss of revenue or customer confidence might lead to the collapse of your corporations profitability.
When evaluating security costs, you should include the indirect costs associated with any attack, as well as the costs of lost IT functionality.
Vulnerability, risk, and exposure analysis with regard to security informs you of the tradeoffs between security and
usability that all computer systems are subject to in a networked environment.
