HP announced additions to its security solutions portfolio that enable enterprises to assess, transform, optimise and manage their security environments to protect what matters.

Cloud, mobility and big data initiatives are helping organisations solve pressing challenges, while driving accelerated innovation, enhanced agility and improved financial management.

However, these initiatives also can introduce big security concerns.

A reactive, perimeter-based approach to security is no longer sufficient. Enterprises need proactive, intelligent security solutions that span traditional and hybrid delivery models, and address the challenges brought on by these new shifts in IT. 

“Cybersecurity threats are growing exponentially, and without a proactive information risk management strategy, enterprise growth, innovation and efficiencies are hindered,” said George Kadifa, executive vice president, of HP Software.

“HP helps clients protect what matters most to their organizations by delivering intelligent security solutions that prioritize security resources to help identify threats earlier and enable a faster response time,” said Mike Nefkens, acting executive vice president, Enterprise Services, HP.

For public sector organisations, security threats are continuing to escalate, regulations are becoming more complex and budgets are shrinking. 

New additions to this portfolio include; new features added to HP Assured Identity, and a Comprehensive Applications Threat Analysis (CATA) on Demand which lowers the cost of application security by addressing threats throughout the development life cycle.

HP also unveiled new products and services to provide clients transparency and control over their entire organization. These new offerings include HP Data Center Protection Services and HP ArcSight Enterprise Security Manager 6.0c.
