We recently had the opportunity to share with the Birmingham Business Journal some technology strategy best practices for business leaders.

Here’s a sneak peek at the Q&A with our VP of Marketing and Strategic Development David Powell. The full article will be published on Friday, August 26.

Q: How can I keep my company’s IT infrastructure secure?

We really think about a layered approach to that. Most of the time people look at security, and it seems like such a daunting task. That creates inaction for them. They’re like, “Oh, I can never be secure.” Actually, that’s correct. You can’t ever be completely secure. But you can increasingly be more secure than you are now. It’s just like you can never say you’re completely healthy, but you can get healthier.

We want our customers to embark on a journey towards being more secure. And one of the reasonable steps they can continue to take is to layer on top of each other and make themselves more secure. That’s the way we like to think about it. Security is a journey, not a destination. TekLinks has a great blog series on how to develop the 7 Layers of Security.
