RYE BROOK, NY--(Marketwired - Oct 10, 2013) - ImageWare Systems, Inc. (
HP Enterprise Services
Mr. Ed Keegan, Director, Cybersecurity Strategies & Portfolio, U.S. Public Sector, HP Enterprise Services, told us, " CM represents a maturation of information technology. Over the past 15 to 20 years, various tools have been created to address individual problems, such as perimeter protection, endpoint protection, data loss prevention and so on. Once implemented, the tools are presumed to be doing the job. Therefore, original information assurance programs were written to ensure these tools were present -- not to ensure they were integrated and operating properly. CM represents the next logical step in this process -- automated, continuous auditing of the cyber environment to ensure proper configuration along with proactive monitoring for threats and vulnerabilities. This will ensure security compliance resulting in the prioritization and initiation of actions required to further secure the governments' information and systems.

T-Systems
Mr. Ryan Skipp, T-Systems International GMBH, Portfolio & Solution Design -- IT, Applications & Portfolio Architecture, told us, "For any system to be interoperable, there is an assumption that standards exist, and have been equally applied. This has been proven recently to not exactly be the reality. Some standards and specifications are already defined, but each ISV seems to still be interpreting them individually, and focusing on the establishment phase for functionality and products. The most important things that we from both T-Systems and from ODCA would like to see, would be a clear set of applicable standards and specifications through the cloud stack (from VM through IaaS layers, into PaaS layers, and on to SaaS layers, and then on into Cloud Brokers, Service Catalogues, and Management Tools. The next most important thing is a consistent licensing approach for software (currently the models vary between enterprises, vendors, and platforms, with really hard entitlement tracking and reporting). The last really important thing in my top 3, is enabling legislation and compliance requirements for cloud -- current legislation and compliance is rather disabling towards shared cloud systems, and disabling the cost benefits of a properly leveraged infrastructure."
