Before implementing a technology solution, an organization must have an understanding of the impact the solution will have on its overall IT environment. Considerations must be made for numerous factors. The organization's existing infrastructure should be leveraged to maximize effectiveness. Long-term scalability is weighed against short-term cost savings, and security is weighed against usability. Compliance mandates influence business decisions. Further, expectations and requirements often vary greatly within the organization, with the concerns of the network and application owners rarely mirroring those of the CISO.

By working with organizations to gain an understanding of their unique pressures, and by leveraging our broad experience helping our clients resolve business and security issues, Accuvant is able to design security architectures that satisfy all the affected parties.
