Achieving and maintaining compliance with these requirements demands that IT organizations institute ongoing vulnerability assessment and remediation procedures to ensure reasonable efforts are made to protect data and business processes.

"Business is dependent on the internet, but increasingly sophisticated threats targeting internet infrastructure have exploded at the same time that requirements for ensuring due compliance are increasing,” said John Landau, senior vice president, Global Managed Services, Tata Communications.

"Effectively managing vulnerabilities to best-practice levels, in-house, is an expensive and difficult undertaking for businesses of any size. Mistakes can lead to crippling service downtime, potential data corruption, and the risk of being non-compliant,” he added.
