If you're not one of them, what are you missing? Join Jane Barrett, Research Director for AMR Research specializing in supply chain execution trends to discuss the complete results of her latest study.

The technology portion (e.g., software, hardware & integration services) of that spending is around a third of it (approximately $10B).

GRC is a very broadly defined space - very broad! To gain a better understanding and appreciation for that, here is a newly released map that identifies various areas and their relationships.

Another AMR Research note talks about the current maturity point of Enterprises implementing GRC.

So where does Securityworks play in this "GRC Ecosystem?" We are coming at it through the eyes of an IT Security Executive.

Our goal - How can we make the IT audit process more efficient and less frustrating for the IT security organization? When you look back at the model above we fit in the area called "IT GRC" which leverages/compliments current IT security management investments (e.g., vulnerability scanning, configuration policy management, SIEM) to accomplish this. If your enterprise already leverages these products then its ready for the next step in the maturity curve, which is IT GRC. Just to get an idea of some the unique capabilities that extend your current IT Security investments please check out our newly posted product demos.
