“Implementing security controls for information systems, especially at the enterprise level, is a tough job – but we’re here to help the people responsible meet the challenge,” said Lisa Parcella, VP of Product Management & Marketing at Security Innovation. “In today’s high-risk cybersecurity environment, Security Essentials is an effective and high ROI training program that provides guidance on the most important controls to help organizations reduce enterprise risk.”
