BT to discuss resilient infrastructures for 21st century at Telecom World Middle East

Ray Stanton, Global Head of BT's Business Continuity, Security and Governance (BCSG) practice, is set to address telecom and security experts on his experienced approach to building resilient infrastructures for the 21st Century.

Stanton said:

"Global risk environment is more volatile and stakeholders demand protection of their assets and proof your business is resilient. Strong business continuity strategies, following basic principles are the best way to protect your business."

"It is important to preserve the reliability and confidentiality of your company's information and IT resources. This can be done by sharing technology and operational risks with trusted, qualified partners. Risk management standards must be introduced to deal with the continuing convergence of networks. Risk is not going away and it must be embraced with a plan of action already in place," adds Stanton.

BT has a wealth of experience in building and managing secure global networks, providing complete protection for global networked IT infrastructures. Its services in the security area combine a unique set of tools, with the experience, knowledge and expertise of consultants from BT Counterpane and BT's Ethical Hacking Centre of Excellence
