Security & Governance

Security threats will always outpace compliance requirements, so approaching the two disciplines in parallel is essential to the big picture. Compliance alone isn’t enough to keep an organization secure, and security doesn’t always assure compliance. Regardless of availability of in-house security expertise, organizations need continual security monitoring to assess and remediate vulnerabilities in their current IT and to ensure new architectures are protected from external threats. Rackspace security experts take an active approach to securing the customer’s cloud and applications and strengthening their overall IT network security posture to remove or minimize impact. ​
