Shiseido Ensures Highest level of Business Security and Continuity with Lumension Security

Before establishing polices and implementing Lumension's solution to enforce them, we were constantly chasing fires that were spreading across all four of our U.S. sites. Nearly every day we were dealing with a different worm or virus that made its way onto our network, most of which were the result of un-patched vulnerabilities in our operating systems

With Lumension's solutions, we're able to quickly proactively assess and eliminate all known vulnerabilities and contain any malware. Through the cost savings on IT staff resources alone, we were able to achieve ROI in just three months.

Lumension's Vulnerability Management Suite, consisting of PatchLink Update, PatchLink Scan and PatchLink Enterprise Reporting, allows organizations to:

"Because we are a Japanese company with a global presence, compliance is a major issue. Lumension's Vulnerability Management Suite helps us meet the Japanese version of Sarbanes Oxley as well as various other requirements by developing clear policies and procedures for our patch and vulnerability management processes. We are also able to track software licenses dynamically, something that is very important when signing contracts with Microsoft and IBM," said Sica. "Additionally, we are able to react to issues more quickly, which is as important as any quantifiable ROI figures. Lumension's Vulnerability Management Suite gives us a more security-centric view of the network, allowing us to gain greater insight into the network and a better overall view into the system. We are able to more rapidly adjust to changes in the business, making our IT operation much more proactive and flexible, and therefore more productive."
