MicroStrategy Usher: A maturity model for enterprise security.

Today, organizations are facing a challenging and constantly evolving landscape of security threats. Supercharged connectivity, unending streams of information and instantaneous transactions have created unprecedented opportunities for business—but they also create vulnerabilities. Cyber threats continue to target organizations of every size and type around the world, making the need for enterprise security more urgent than ever. Yet many organizations are still reluctant to commit sufcient resources to security, failing to recognize that now, more than ever, security is a critical business competency. Perhaps among the reasons for recent prominent information security breaches is the lingering mentality among business leaders that security is a costly, superfcial accessory. These high-visibility cyber-attacks on global corporations drive home the need for more holistic thinking about security and risk management.
