FRAMINGHAM, MA--(Marketwire - June 23, 2010) - IDG's CSO, the security media brand providing insight into business risk leadership, now features the CSO Daily Dashboard showcasing security threat data in an at-a-glance format.
Businesses face a variety of evolving-threats that require their security executives to be constantly aware of what's happening and where risk lies. This online tool, http://dashboard.csoonline.com/, serves this need by providing constant updates aggregated from industry sources on the most important security threats. Topics include network status updates, weather factors impacting a data center and traveling employees, and data protection. The dashboard gives users real time information that is dynamic and easier to read than static graphics for a volatile threat environment.
"CSOonline.com visitors are responsible for mitigating risk to their organizations -- data, facilities and employees -- and have to track changing conditions and threats so that they can be proactive versus reactive," said Derek Slater, editor in chief, CSO. "Many organizations do not have the resources to produce their own operations center. The CSO Daily Dashboard can become their operations center."
Since the debut of the CSO Daily Dashboard last month, it has quickly attracted an engaged audience and remains within the top 5 of pages viewed on CSOonline.com, demonstrating the need for, and rapid adoption of, this type of tool. Visitors were directed to the Dashboard through newsletter listings and SEO and SEM initiatives. Its popularity gives security solutions providers a prime location for exclusive advertising, as well as the opportunity to provide one content feed for the dashboard.
