The concept of a performance-driven culture is a change in management style that shifts from a “rearview-mirror perspective” focused on financial measures to a perspective that balances this with the use of leading performance indicators and weak signals to actively seek and then act on patterns to drive better business outcomes. This approach will fundamentally change strategic-planning processes and the execution of strategies. Successful organizations will create a performance-driven culture in which business strategies will change with the emergence of new business patterns, which will drive changes in the operational behaviors of managers and employees.

Penetration testing goes beyond vulnerability scanning to use multistep and multivector attack scenarios that first find vulnerabilities and then attempt to exploit them to move deeper into the enterprise infrastructure. Since this is how advanced targeted attacks work, penetration testing provides visibility into aggregations of misconfigurations or vulnerabilities that could lead to an attack that could cause serious business impact. As a minimum, penetration testing provides a means for prioritizing the highest risk vulnerabilities.

A PC virtual software appliance runs in a dedicated PC partition or on a virtual machine that loads before any user OS, and provides one application or function without the complexity of a full PC OS. By adopting an appliance approach, enterprises can deliver individual functions (such as firewalls, asset management, TV recorders and media players) as separate modules that run alongside, rather than on top of (or from within), a standard PC OS.
