Increase the success of your next security initiative!

Protheos Technology was formed to provide assistance to information security professionals in leading successful technology implementations within their organization.  It has been our experience that a good number of today's security managers/professionals have come from a highly technical background.  While this is a great advantage in understanding the technical side of new security solutions, it also leaves them at a disadvantage when dealing with the business and political sides of their companies.

To help solve this problem this site is devoted to providing information security managers (CISO, CSO, Directors of Information Security, Info Sec Managers) with information on how to approach their new security initiatives with a sound strategy. The principles covered within this site need to be evaluated and applied correctly to your company (specific culture, size, type of data your protecting), but they will give you a framework for creating a strategic roadmap for your next security initiative. Our desire is to see us all become more successful in our efforts to secure our companies information.
