AST Products, a division of the AST Group, has strengthened its security offering to its clients with a complete solution from consulting through to after-sales support, that is product-independent and focuses on the clients` business requirements in designing and deploying security solutions.
AST Products specialises in information security and the reduction of risk associated with information dissemination in a networked world. Such risks do not only include economic risks, in the form of loss of intellectual property, but also those related to non-monetary assets, such as loss of reputation. By mitigating these risks, the division assists its clients in focusing on their primary objective - conducting better business.
"Securing an organisation`s environment is not a question of merely supplying a solution, but rather analysing the environment, understanding the business requirements, formalising the metrics and control measures and only then providing a technology-based solution, backed up by an operations and management strategy," explains Bryce Thorrold of AST Products.
AST Products` security offerings are provided by consultants who have received internationally recognised training in best practices for the design and development of customised enterprise security solutions.
A unique feature of the AST Products` offering is the after-sales support, which is service level agreement-driven and allows AST to be proactive, rather than reactive. It also provided by certified personnel, using best-of-breed tools and processes.
"Managing security can be a daunting task for any organisation, be it large or small," concludes Thorrold. "The players and the technology are changing constantly and it is difficult to stay abreast of developments in such an environment. For this reason, it is extremely important that an organisation chooses the right vendor - one that is reliable, has substantial expertise in security management and can provide a complete solution."
AST`s intellectual capacity, its business model and strong customer base form the foundation for the group`s integrated services solutions business.
Ideally positioned as a leading technology solutions company and focused on selected industries, AST unlocks substantial value for its customers. The AST Group - a trustworthy and innovative ICT company.
