Combining business and security: The Adaptive Security Index

Brochures

Integrated Security Infrastructure (ISI)

Our latest views on Integrated Security reflect the New World order: Protect, Detect, Elect. Explore the latest thinking on protecting your environment.

Capgemini’s Adaptive Security Index, designed in association with Cisco Systems, is intended for use by executive committees and IT directors. The Index highlights what needs to be done to ensure the correct balance between security, expenditure and return on investment (ROI) for each individual enterprise. It is a methodology for measuring the effectiveness of enterprise security.

Individual enterprises can match their expenditure to risk. Unlike other methodologies that often focus solely on the technical aspects of security, our Adaptive Security Index measures an organization’s approach to security using two points of reference: mindset and security. This is delivered at the overall business level, not just within the IT department.

The Adaptive Security Index in the Real World

We have applied the Index by conducting a major survey of 270 companies from North America and Europe. The results provide a snapshot of the current state of information security effectiveness around the world. Our Index is a barometer of business attitudes to security, showing both where things stand and what needs to be done to improve security.
