Date: Apr 5, 2011 | Duration: 60 min
Accountability is the cornerstone of secure and compliant IT environments. Federal IT Manager who cannot definitively link individual users' access and activity on key systems to a single, definitive identity are at risk of security breaches or audit findings. But the complexity that is resulting from the continuous spread of Linux, UNIX, and Mac systems is exposing them to added risks and management overhead. Consolidating identities, centralizing access controls, and streamlining administration by using a unified directory is a smart, logical approach to achieving clear accountability.
Learn how to strengthen data center security while at the same time reducing complexity and expense through centralized, Active Directory-based management. Topics include:
- Advantages of centralizing identity and access management using Active Directory Security
- Auditing challenges that can be met by implementing identity management tools
- Identity management in physical and cloud-based data centers
- Real-world implementations and best practices
