This year’s recipient, Zurich Insurance Group, is recognized for transforming its Global Security Operation, by establishing evidence based IT compliance assessment methodologies and strengthening its overall information security posture via a multi-year Data Security Initiative designed to move the company to a modernized information security capability. A Global Information Security Organization was reorganized and established as a centralized group responsible for the delivery of all information security capabilities. Several 'security hubs' have been created across Zurich locations to support this strategy. Zurich's leadership recognizes the importance of data security and has continued to make the appropriate investments in solutions as well as in this team by encouraging the achievement of security certifications by Zurich staff members. Currently Zurich's Information Security team has more than 600 industry recognized security certifications. Zurich is also leveraging what it has learned during this transformational journey to help better serve its customers around the globe as they make important decisions about how to protect themselves from risk. - See more at: http://www.rsaconference.com/press/20/rsa-r-conference-2014-announces-recipients-of-17th#sthash.8aARGxKN.dpuf
