In today’s digitized world, security risks and threats are growing exponentially. While many organizations are still thinking about what their security strategy looks like, cybercriminals are just waiting for their turn to attack. Security risks arise due to the shared cloud environments, services accessible via the public Internet, a possible loss of confidentiality and integrity, and availability of data in the cloud environment.
The SoftwareONE Advanced Security Workshop is an extensive, three-day workshop created to get your security practice on the right track. Our experts dive into your existing IT environment to understand your asset inventory, secure configurations and vulnerability management processes, discover how your end-users share information and locate associated security risks, and identify areas for consolidation in your licensing. This assessment is completely tailored to your business and on your time.
What to Expect

Day 1: Kick Off
During the first part of this workshop, our goal is to understand your key business priorities, your people, processes and tools. We use this time to define the scope and expected outcomes.

Day 2: Security Assessment
The next step is to discover your existing technologies and security posture. We will focus on the following:
- Scan your IT environment and review your current practices
- Conduct a remote discovery workshop that addresses asset inventory, secure configurations and vulnerability management
- Identify how end users are sharing information and the associated security risks

Day 3: Roadmap Build
The goal of the last phase is to arrive at the path to your desired security end state.
- We will recommend a strategy, roadmap specific to our learnings from Phase 2
- Analyze and provide recommendations on existing threat posture
- Provide licensing recommendations to achieve your strategic roadmap cost-effectively
Outcomes and Potential Benefits
Once we complete the assessment, we will work with you to create a high-level corporate strategy, focused on three specific areas: Deployment and managed services; Device, Application and Information Management; and Access and Identity Management. Based on our recommended strategy, we expect you will experience any or all of the following:
