Fifth Step Partnership With Dajon Data Management

It's an unfortunate truth, that any system implementation these days has to include an assessment of the impact on the organisation's security, this is no different for the increasing numbers of organisations that are enacting process automation strategies; the security of their online assets and presence becomes ever more important.

2015 is widely predicted to be “the” year for big data – information will increasingly be used to effect positive change and drive via educated and timely business decisions. Data agility is the key here; the action of slicing, dicing, analysing and delivering information when it is most needed will ultimately drive wider organisational change. The process of understanding how to extract its intrinsic value - and translating this into a new kind of “in-flight” business acumen - will become increasingly vital to those companies who strive to save money and establish better connections with their customers.

While it’s fair to say that big data is far from being a new phenomenon, finding the best way to secure data against increasingly more sophisticated attacks is a fresh challenge. According to the government, 81% of large businesses and 60% of small businesses suffered a security breach in the past 12 months - with the average cost of cyber attacks on data doubling since 2013.

A recent thought leadership article, published by “digitally native news outlet” Quartz, reported that cyber-attacks now cost an estimated £260 billion in damages each year – with many experts strongly believing that this number will soar in 2015. Clearly, the ongoing monitoring and protection of data should be a top priority for businesses across all sectors.

To this end, we are pleased to announce a new partnership with Dajon Data Management service we'll be working with Dajon to extend their products and services to alignment with best-practice IT along with strategic business planning.
