INFORMATION SECURITY OPERATIONS 2

History, Nature and Services by the Company

Over the years, data collected by businesses for operations has hugely increased. Data

analysis has become a very important tool in business assessment and growth. This has

five business units are expected to consult from Austin, which remains its headquarters, before
