caworld^SM 2004
caworld 2004, May 23-27, - Las Vegas, Nevada

Security Management Focus Area
Organizations today face numerous challenges when managing and securing their businesses. Business boundaries are expanding to create business relationships with suppliers, partners, and customers, which in turn extends the business infrastructure to an interconnected environment. While this has provided terrific growth opportunity for business, it has come at the price of increased complexity when administering and managing the IT infrastructure and protecting it from risks and threats.

Meeting these business challenges involves adopting a holistic approach to security management that addresses the key areas of cost-effective user provisioning, cross-platform intrusion prevention with mainframe-caliber access controls, and the mitigation of the risks associated with the evolving threats from viruses, worms, and all forms of malicious code attacks. Additionally, holistic security management provides the ability and flexibility to integrate your existing security infrastructure for faster response to attacks and reduced operational overhead.
