Yphise research selects each year the most valuable market segments according to the investment priorities of large companies. Yphise research states that SCCA solutions represent a cornerstone investment for large companies from all activity sectors.
"Our research concludes that SCCA solutions are essential to manage the operational risk that the IT infrastructure represents for the company, i.e. availability, continuity, efficiency in operations, flexibility and security. There are mainly three benefits for the business : reducing the cost of IS unavailability for the business, reducing the cost of security threats and reducing the cost of noncompliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The detailed assessment of the products shortlisted by YPHISE states that this market segment represents a priority investment" says Yphise Manager Laurent Mynard from Yphise Paris labs.
Yphise research states that the short list of software vendors that should benefit of this opportunity includes Attachmate and Symantec.
Server Configuration Compliance Audit (SCCA) solutions check, control and score the compliance of server and desktop configurations against configuration and security rules.
- SCCA solutions help anticipate incidents. They reduce unavailability and damages in operations due to configuration noncompliance of IT infrastructure items.
- SCCA solutions link the collected information to legal and regulatory requirements and to best practices (such as SOX, Basel II and PCI-DSS). They score IS compliance. They automate and schedule audits. This reduces the audit cost and duration. This also ensures audit reproducibility (a legal requirement).
