If you were told by a VP to simplify security for your organization, what you think would be a starting point? It's seems vague. We run Windows servers/desktops that are built on the same images. We use Cisco switches/routers/etc. I'm not really sure where to start.
I would start by asking him what, exactly, he meant by that. If your security stops at the hardware and operating system levels, that's pretty simple. Are your policies too complex for non-IT staff to understand? Perhaps people have trouble accessing files due to tight access restrictions? -- Stanley D'Arderr File Descriptor #2 Devices Directory --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is sponsored by: BigFix If your IT fails, you're out of business - or worse.
