SAN JOSE, Calif. - (Business Wire) TAL Global, a leader in holistic security, today announced a strategic partnership agreement with Fred Cohen & Associates (FCA) of Livermore, CA.
“Fred has been a long standing associate of TAL Global and this new partnership will allow us to take our relationship to the next level to offer our clients a wider range of high value added Information Security related services,
” said Johnathan Tal, President and CEO of TAL Global.
“FCA’s unique experience in Information Protection ranges across a wide spectrum. Their extensive experience in Business Continuity Planning, Information Protection Architecture, Information Risk Management, and their supporting technologies and intellectual property will be an excellent complement to our investigative and forensics services,” commented Larry Dietz, Managing Director of Information Security, & Legal Support Services. “FCA’s services are packaged in such a way that clients can readily see the high value they bring to the table. Furthermore, FCA’s structured approach gives clients an unparalleled means of being a part of the project and helps the FCA team craft reports and other deliverables that are attuned to the client’s particular needs.”
Future Enterprise Planning projects typically consist of four tasks:
- On site data gathering and meetings are used to understand critical information needs and the current state of protection is melded into an enterprise information protection model developed by FCA over many years of work with many enterprise clients.
- Analysis ranges from risk aggregations and interdependency analysis, to OODA loop analysis and tradeoffs between prevention and detection and response approaches, with coverage of scores of different well defined architectural elements, and typically includes a gap analysis and comparison to commonly used standards.
- Reports cover a wide range of elements of the systematic comprehensive approach to enterprise information protection architecture including governance requirements, management, policies, standards, procedures, documentation, testing, and more.
- Future state architecture development is usually the fourth phase and includes both the architectural solutions for filling gaps, a transition plan for closing the gaps in realistic time frames and with realistic costs, and a management presentation to clear the path for moving ahead. Other FCA services include Information Protection Posture Assessments, Risk Management assistance, and a wide range of other planning and situation-specific services related to enterprise information protection.
