Redmond, WA (PRWEB) August 16, 2005 -- After serving Microsoft Corporation in
two equally prestigious capacities, Sanjay Tandon has moved on from Microsoft to
establish Sanjay Tandon Inc. (www.sanjaytandon.com), a security company focused on and
determined to help organizations worldwide secure and defend the ultimate
protector of their net worth, their security infrastructure.
Tandon’s
contributions to Microsoft helped improve the security posture of scores of
Fortune 500, numerous national and international government and business
organizations, and other global powerhouses around the world. Earlier this year,
he conducted a risk assessment of Microsoft’s security infrastructure and helped
Microsoft improve its security posture.
“Security is an important issue
for organizations as well as individuals. The work that Sanjay Tandon is doing
to help organizations become and stay secure is great for the ecosystem. I would
advise all organizations to attain and maintain a sound security posture,” said
JC Cannon, Senior Privacy Strategist with the Trustworthy Computing Group at
Microsoft Corporation.
Armed with authoritative expertise on Windows
security, valuable enterprise software development experience, a novel approach
to information security, and invaluable real-world IT security experience,
Tandon is poised and determined to help organizations worldwide attain and
maintain a sound security posture.
“We live and do business in a
dynamic, fiercely competitive and increasingly insecure world. Instead of being
free to focus their energy and resources on succeeding in business,
organizations across the world are being forced to spend significant resources
towards combating the menace of rampant and incessant threats to their
information assets The situation continues to exacerbate and unfortunately, for
as crowded as it is, the enterprise security solutions space doesn’t seem to
have any real solution,” said Tandon.
“We intend to change that. We
intend to help organizations attain and maintain a sound security posture so
that they’re free to focus their energies and channel their resources on doing
what they do best – take on the right business risks to succeed in business. We
intend to do so by empowering organizations to secure and defend the very
foundation of access management and information security at their organization,
their security infrastructure,” he added.
A security breach in an
organization’s security infrastructure could result in the compromise of all its
information assets putting the entire organization at high risk and in the worst
case scenario directly impacting business continuity. Tandon is thus convinced
that the protection of an organization’s security infrastructure must be its #1
priority. Towards the same, he intends to build and deliver the world’s first
and most trustworthy security framework specially designed to protect security
infrastructures.
Tandon will also develop and provide innovative
security products and unparalleled consulting services in the areas of identity
and access management, aimed at solving specific pervasive security problems and
helping customers leverage their IT security investments to gain competitive
advantage. Finally, Tandon will compliment his product and service offerings
with an exclusive set of security training offerings aimed at producing the
world’s finest security infrastructure architects and administrators.
On
August 15, 2005, Tandon launched the Red Arrows, a unique set of consulting
services exclusively designed to enable and empower customers to assess the
trustworthiness of and secure their security infrastructure and their
information assets.
