ComGuard realigns offerings to integrate information and physical security solutions

The company is positioning itself as a one stop shop for all security needs, integrating the three basic security concepts - protection, detection and reaction.

Committed to redefining relationships with client organizations, ComGuard is providing solutions to enable customers to take the maximum advantage of their whole infrastructure. This would be done by ensuring that customers and partners are equipped with the knowledge essential for optimizing their investment; offering significant performance and total-cost-of-ownership advantages over competing solutions; offering the complete spectrum of services such as vendor services, support services, professional services, consultancy services including external network assessment, internal network assessment and security policy audit, implementation services and others.

The company's drive to offer totally integrated security solutions comes at a time when the convergence of physical and information security requirements is becoming a strong and widespread trend. Government agencies and private corporations worldwide are seeking powerful physical and information controls to safeguard all their assets and functions.

"Security services today are driven by activities that unify a broad spectrum of business and management disciplines, including crisis management, risk management and technology recovery, and are not just linked to information technology," said Herbert Kamensky, ComGuard's managing director. "Besides, in addition to computer and network security, there is now an ever expanding range of information that has to be protected."

The company established a strategic and operational framework to implement solutions and assure organizations resilience to disruption, interruption or loss through its top of the line products and services. This, in turn, would require planning across many facets of an organization; therefore enterprise resilience to unexpected or malicious disruptions depends equally on management and operational staff, as it does on technology and hence the holistic approach when establishing an integrated security program.

"Although increasing amounts of funds are being allocated by companies towards security, technology professionals have to justify the value of information and assets against the cost of control. In this context, ComGuard is offering assistance to its clients to do a cost benefit analysis, which appears to be critical," continued Kamensky. "Our goal has always been to complete the circle of offerings and match them with customer expectations and business requirements."
