Today, networks are a mix of diverse systems and platforms that include Windows, NetWare, Linux and UNIX Windows servers, along with notebooks and desktop PCs. These growing networks are vital to the success of today’s business, but their complexity and diversity pose an information security challenge. As if the internal challenge were not enough, most networks also connect to the Internet, potentially exposing vital information assets to the world.
The foundation for true information security in any networked-computing environment is a security policy that balances risk and cost.After all, information security is a business issue, not just a technology issue, and the reason organizations want to protect information is for sound business purposes. A security policy should focus on delivering integrity, availability and confidentiality. Defining, implementing and controlling an effective policy seem like an overwhelming task. Despite policies written on paper, most companies have trouble quickly spotting the areas on their enterprise networks that are vulnerable and do not comply with policy.
