How to Keep Security off the Shelf and Working for You

This is the problem: Once their security purchases arrive, in-house IT teams often lack the time and/or manpower to ensure the solutions are installed and working properly. Security technologies also are complex. They require a specific set of skills to understand how to use them to their fullest.

To compensate for resource strains, while still being able to combat the latest advanced threats and protect their sensitive data, businesses require a combination of products, people and proficiency.

To help illustrate the story of shelfware and what businesses must do to ensure their security investments are paying off for them, we've created a neat, new infographic that is filled with compelling stats and practical advice. Use the tidbits and tips to get informed and spark an important discussion about wasted security purchases. And remember to share it across your organization and with your peers!
