Hewlett-Packard Company announces a new dedicated global consulting security practice that enables customers to elevate information security into a core component of their business strategies, and that counsels them on proactive measures for implementing security strategies that minimize threats and maximize opportunities for their customers and business partners.
The new practice comes at a time when the role of security is changing. Keeping people out is not enough in the e-services age. Information security is now about creating services that let the right people in whenever they need to be regardless of their location or computing device.

One area of specialization will be helping application service providers generate revenue by being able to offer varied security service levels. Similarly, HP will be able to offer infrastructure service providers opportunities to generate revenue from offering advanced security services such as public key infrastructure services.

HP is not new to information security consulting. What is different now is that it is creating a security dream team from HP’s consulting organization and keeping them dedicated to what they do best.

The new service strengthens HP’s global leadership in providing end-to end information security solutions and establishes HP as an e-security thought leader. In addition to having consultants located throughout the world, HP offers technology infrastructure expertise combined with industry-leading products such HP Praesidium and Virtual Vault. This adds up to a one-stop shop for customers that includes an unmatched collection of resources to integrate their business and security strategies. Services offered include the full spectrum of security consulting, from risk management and strategy to architecture and implementation.
