Monitoring and Staying Alert Is a Key Event in Real-Time
SecurePath partners with a number of vendors including Veritas, NetIQ and Symantec and offers services in cyber threat defense, governance, risk and compliance, and information management & protection. “Today, businesses are investing in projects and programs that help them to monitor and stay alert to the key risk events in real-time such as fraud, compliance, cybersecurity, and financial crime,” said James Nunn-price, APAC cyber leader for Deloitte. “SecurePath helps their clients build and implement solutions so that they can get the insight needed to stay ahead of, and block the threats,” he added.
“We have been working very closely with Symantec, Veritas, and NetIQ for many years, and have established ourselves as the premier go-to partners for customers who desire high-quality services for extracting the maximum value from their investments in these technologies, said Chung.
