Overview

The United States Government formally defines Information Security as:

"Protecting information and information systems from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction in order to provide -
  1. integrity, which means guarding against improper information modification or destruction, and includes ensuring information non-repudiation and authenticity;

  2. confidentiality, which means preserving authorized restrictions on access and disclosure, including means for protecting personal privacy and proprietary information; and

  3. availability, which means ensuring timely and reliable access to and use of information."

While the business drivers (Risks, Objectives) and challenges (non-homogeneity, organizational size) may differ considerably across different market sectors, the basic requirements of Information Security remain the same. Pivot Point Security has worked extensively across market segments and with many of the worlds largest:

We have broken out a small handful of these market segments into specific sections on our website to make it easier for someone reviewing our site to determine our understanding of those market sectors that have some level of uniqueness relating to specific drivers and challenges.

Please do not look for client names or precise detail as to the work that we do. As Security Practitioners we understand the value of seemingly insignificant pieces of information as a basis for malicious action, and accordingly have a strict policy of non-disclosure of any client data, including names.

The next time you note a Security firm name-dropping in an attempt to gain your trust / business, ask yourself whose best interest they are really looking out for.
