Protect and preserve an inviting environment for commerce

Commerce increasingly depends on networks for information-sharing, messaging and collaboration. This often means more ‘points of exposure’ for viruses, hackers and spam. The growing number of complex regulations intensifies the need to protect your IT systems. It’s a balancing act providing necessary access to key applications and information, meeting compliance standards and actively managing user identities.

This environment demands active and passive network security to mitigate vulnerabilities. We offer a complete range of robust infrastructure solutions to help organisations rise to the challenge.

Empower your business to grow with effective IT governance

Managing risk and compliance isn’t just about dealing with legislation and security threats. It’s about creating a framework for IT governance that empowers your company to grow. Companies with effective IT governance strategies tend to be more profitable, have better credit ratings, and enjoy increased confidence from customers, investors and other key stakeholders.

BT will work with your business to manage compliance across your networked IT infrastructure, and enable you to understand and manage the risks associated with operating in a networked environment. We have extensive experience designing, delivering and managing effective IT governance frameworks, encompassing processes, services and solutions such as the BT Risk Cockpit™ – a unique executive dashboard and reporting tool.

You can benefit from our own experience as a highly regulated business, operating across multiple geographies and compliance regimes.

Protect your business, your data and your reputation

In a networked operating environment, more information is available to more users, including an increasing number of people outside your organisation. The challenge is keeping your data secure, ensuring the right people have access to the information they need, and being able to anticipate and respond to security threats – from viruses and ad-hoc attacks, to organised criminal activity.

BT provides an extensive range of technologies, professional services and managed services to optimise security for your networked business. We’ll work with you to assess security threats, build layered defences into your networked IT and communication systems, and provide realtime security management and monitoring. As a result, you’ll be better able to anticipate and respond to threats, provide secure access to information and services, and protect your operations, your data, and your reputation.

Large organisations across the world trust BT as their security partner, including Unilever and CLSA. We have security accreditations from trusted organisations including FIRST, CERT, FIPS, and NSA and are compliant with key industry standards including ISO 27001 and ISO 17799.
