HERNDON,
Va., Oct. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- ePlus
inc. (NASDAQ NGS: PLUS) (news) today announced the launch of
Compromise Nothing, a new program that helps organizations tackle
security holistically, rather than managing individual security
threats or siloed security solutions, with the objective of
facilitating business resiliency and achieving desired business
outcomes.
ePlus Compromise Nothing is a comprehensive approach that
addresses an organization's entire security estate, including
strategy, tactics, infrastructure, governance, execution and
ongoing management. Compromise Nothing combines consultative and
professional services provided by ePlus' security professionals and
its SSAE-accredited managed services centers, along with
leading third-party solutions, in an easy to consume and
disciplined approach to an enterprise's entire security
posture.
Organizations today are facing growing, elaborate challenges,
ranging from increased regulatory scrutiny and reporting
requirements to emerging threat vectors, such as generative AI and
high-profile breaches. According to a new generative AI and
cybersecurity report by Sapio Research and Deep
Instinct1, 75 percent of security professionals said
they have seen an uptick in attacks over the past year, with 85%
attributing the rise to bad actors using generative AI. Faced with
these increased threats, it's important to note Gartner reports
that 75% of organizations are pursuing security vendor
consolidation initiatives with the goal of achieving improved risk
posture across key areas of secure access, XDR, and cloud
security.2
"While the cybersecurity landscape is complex and can be
difficult to navigate, organizations should not have to make
compromises or concessions when it comes to their overall posture,"
said Lee Waskevich, vice president
of security solutions at ePlus. "Organizations should Compromise
Nothing as far as what they can achieve with their security
program, but also as it relates to the risks and vulnerabilities
that exist across their businesses. From cloud security and zero
trust to threat detection and response, organizations are
struggling to put together actionable and achievable results with
strained resources. Our Compromise Nothing initiative helps
structure and make available the education, assessment and adoption
services required to help companies realize the value from these
cyber trends."
The complexity of multiple, disintegrated vendors, underutilized
tools and security skill set shortages can make efficient and
effective management of a security program overwhelming. As
organizations continue to struggle with making the most impactful
investments in cybersecurity to help their organization, ePlus can
help them navigate the landscape, from initial assessments that
help baseline cyber maturity to application of the latest detection
and response capabilities through managed security operations.
"Over the years, as threat vectors have increased, there has
been a tremendous amount of growth and disruption across the
security market," continued Waskevich. "This has created a
complicated and tangled web of providers and tools that have
inadvertently introduced new risk and complexity to the landscape.
Compromise Nothing is designed to help customers cut through that
web and help them build, develop and sustain a strong security
foundation and culture capable of protecting their business today
and tomorrow."

Cisco: "Today's world is hyperconnected with workers
connecting from anywhere, and data stored everywhere from on-prem
to the cloud. Bad actors continue to evolve their tactics while
still using tried and true methods like ransomware to initiate a
breach. In our recent Cybersecurity Readiness Index3,
82% of respondents said they expect a cybersecurity incident to
disrupt their business in the next 12 to 24 months. Organizations
need to make sure they are investing in effective security
solutions to protect this data while also enabling resilient
business outcomes. That's why Cisco, together with ePlus, is
committed to delivering integrated security that leverages
telemetry and intelligence to make the right decisions at speed and
compromise nothing." – Brian Feeney,
Vice President Global Security Channels, Cisco.
