Towards A Secure Information Infrastructure

The IT industry needs a consistent framework to move towards Sustainable Security— one that we can build, deploy and support throughout the lifecycle of the infrastructure, and indeed, the information itself.

At EMC and RSA, the framework we use for a secure information infrastructure is built on three tiers—secure products, security products and secure processes. The concept is to design as complete a security profile in our products as possible, and to manage this level of security throughout the product’s entire build, deploy, support lifecycle.

There are two drivers for this commitment at EMC: we will and we can! First, our customers demand it, so we will. Second, with our leading RSA security technologies, we can, and can do so really well.

But there is hope, and a basic framework for a secure information infrastructure is emerging…..
