What's up IT?
Putting security where it belongs
Tuesday, 1 June 2004 11:58 ESTAs the number of computational devices that companies use in their everyday business has expanded exponentially in recent years, effective management of those assets has become imperative. In recent years, business information systems have expanded into networks, encompassing partners, suppliers and customers. And this brings greater security challenges - employees need to reach out to the world outside the corporate boundaries and those with whom we do business need access to corporate resources. The challenges that this poses are those of making sure that only authorised people are able to access precious company resources so that nothing sensitive leaks out, as well as trying to prevent the unwanted from coming in.
But effective and proactive management of corporate networks to ensure security is no longer just 'nice to have' - it has become a business imperative, especially in the light of regulations that have been passed recently on both sides of the pond. At the heart of most of this legislation is the requirement for greater accountability in business.
