"During this period of economic slowdown, companies face even greater pressure to ensure that all IT activities and investments provide clear cost benefits," said C. Edward Brice, Senior Vice President of Worldwide Marketing, Lumension Security. "As an industry leader, it is imperative that we not only provide organizations with powerful, integrated solutions but cost-efficient technologies that provide tangible value to make security more effective."
Lumension has made available a new whitepaper titled "Minimizing Security-related Total Cost of Ownership" to help organizations calculate the (TCO) to achieve optimal security in today's complex security environment.
