A Case Study on Jacadis, LLC

Introduction: Jacadis is a security consultancy based in Columbus, Ohio that applies its “practical security” mandate to small-to-medium sized businesses and government agencies throughout the state. Jacadis used to conduct security assessments the traditional way, which entailed periodic vulnerability audits with manual software tools, correlation of vulnerability data, elimination of false positives, and explanations of the data to clients. “The old approach was really time consuming, expensive and not an effective way to demonstrate best practices in vulnerability and threat management,” says Davidson. Jacadis switched to the QualysGuard on demand vulnerability management solution.

Meanwhile, the number of workers age 55 and above will grow by over 40 percent.



8 Mistakes Made In Succession Planning A Case Study

The stories below are “hybrid case studies” from our succession planning consulting – no case represents a real company, as all details are disguised. We base these hybrid case studies on succession planning challenges and opportunities that we see again and again.
