Pivot Group Offers Financing to Help Fight the War on Cyber Crime

ATLANTA, October 26, 2004/PRNewswire/ -- Pivot Group is proud to announce its development of the first Financing Program to be offered in the information security services sector. The dynamic nature of information and network security forces companies to stay on top of security, but the lack of resources often impedes the success of any well-designed security plan. Financing presents powerful benefits to a company’s bottom line. Now Pivot Group clients can better prepare for all stages of information security by acquiring vital tools within their budget and business requirements with minimal upfront costs.

“The benefits, our clients will realize, are tremendous,” says Jim Soenksen, CEO of Pivot Group. “Our clients do a remarkable job of planning for both expected and unexpected security expenditures. Yet there are times when either a business or financial condition occurs that mandates emergency funding to augment the security presence within their company.”

“According to the recent worldwide study, The State of Information Security, conducted by CIO Magazine and PricewaterhouseCoopers, the number one ‘secret’ to achieving practical and effective security best practices is allocate more budget dollars to security,” states Kristen Zarcadoolas, Director of Sales and Marketing. “This program allows Pivot Group to provide a cash flow-friendly alternative for our clients seeking to enhance security funding, maximize risk management, and reduce the total cost of ownership.”
