Lean Security: Are we making the most of increasingly scarce resources?

Today's uncertain economy is creating significant pressure on security leaders to provide greater value to their organizations while simultaneously reducing the costs of their operations.

Metrus’ Functional Excellence process, Functional Lean™, is a proven technique for effectively identifying and eliminating “non-value added” activities, time and cost from internal functions like security. It employs a set of powerful tools and systematic processes to assist the Lean security team in accurately identifying then eliminating (or significantly reducing) waste. Organizations implementing Functional Lean™ typically achieve a 15% to 30% reduction in total internal service function cost while meeting business needs at the same — or even improved! — levels.
