40% higher IT costs. Unpatched security gaps. Former employees still accessing company data. These are just a few of the risks businesses face when they don’t have a structured IT lifecycle strategy.

Most organizations focus on cybersecurity tools but overlook the foundational issue: lifecycle management. Without a plan for tracking, securing, and retiring IT assets, businesses open themselves to security breaches, compliance failures, and unexpected expenses.

In this episode of Perimeter Perspective, hosts Michael Moore and Alyssa Birchfield break down IT Lifecycle Management—what it is, why it’s critical for security and efficiency, and how businesses can eliminate hidden risks with a structured approach.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why IT lifecycle mismanagement leads to security breaches, compliance failures, and budget overruns.
• The biggest myths about IT asset tracking and why most businesses get it wrong.
• How structured lifecycle management improves security, reduces downtime, and prevents unauthorized access.
• What Next Perimeter does differently to help businesses manage IT assets from procurement to disposal.

IT lifecycle management isn’t just an IT function—it’s a business-critical strategy for protecting data, reducing costs, and keeping operations running smoothly. Subscribe, share this episode, and visit NextPerimeter.com for more insights on modern IT security.
