Today’s businesses are operating in a global and ever-changing environment. Economic turmoil increasingly becomes a constant factor. Regulatory compliance imposes another challenge.

Agility has become one of the key success factors for organizations, which have to re-define their business models - and invent new ones - quickly. Time-to-market in many industries today is what makes the difference between success and failure. Agility drives business demand to IT.

Enabling the agile, connected business requires new concepts for Information Security. This new ABC (Agile Business: Connected) concept for both business management and Information Security means re-thinking how organizations manage access to their corporate information. This has to happen consistently, regardless of where information resides: Cloud or on-premise. This has to work for all types of users, not only the employees, but also business partners and customers.
