Established in 2008, Botz & Associates draws on the expertise of its founder, Patrick Botz, and his network of similarly experienced Information Security experts.

In each security engagement, Botz & Associates focuses on affordable, effective security solutions based on an organization's unique requirements and environments. Experience teaches that "one-size-fits-all solutions" tend to be overkill — and unnecessarily expensive! — for most customers.

As Lead Security Architect at IBM and founder of the IBM Lab Services security consulting team, Patrick achieved intimate knowledge of system security capabilities and pitfalls on a broad spectrum of platforms, with special emphasis on IBM i (formerly AS/400), AIX, Linux and Unix operating systems. He also architected the SSO solution for OS/400 and i5/OS. 

Botz & Associates has successful security implementations across industries such as automotive, medical, pharmaceutical, manufacturing, retail, insurance, trucking, education, and more. They have dealt with every type of regulatory compliance mandate and every level of sensitivity.

Information security is NOT a technical issue — it's a business issue.

Botz & Associates advocates information security technology only as a tool to make your business more successful.

That’s why we always follow our Enterprise-Wide Security Management Process. It focuses on business objectives first, followed by technical feasibility, cost-effectiveness and low-impact implementation.

The Botz business-based process prevents the most common pitfall in managing security: Technical people making purely technical decisions about purely business issues, for purely technical reasons.

Following the Botz Business Process for managing security in any enterprise — large or small — is the single most important thing you can do to protect your IT-related business assets. Check it out!
