Security White Papers

Your Network is the New Battlefield

Federal departments and agencies, along with elements of the national critical infrastructure, must take a proactive approach to information and network security in order to combat the ever-increasing multitude of cybersecurity threats. Major initiatives and developing National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) guidelines, including continuous monitoring and CyberScope, support the acquisition and deployment of solutions that will continuously monitor, manage, and mitigate vulnerabilities. With current budgetary constraints in mind, it’s crucial that these solutions provide a rapid return on investment with substantial resource recovery. IBM® Tivoli® Endpoint Manager, built on BigFix® technology, has been validated by NIST as conforming to the Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP) and its component standards. It provides a flexible automation framework for effective continuous monitoring and management that advances the current paradigm of disparate and nonintegrated assessment and remediation systems from multiple vendors.

Next-Generation Provisioning: Take a Fresh Approach to Delivering User Access

Since the late 1990s, provisioning systems have provided an automated means for user administration and user lifecycle management. Unfortunately, these decade-old technologies have not kept up with changing customer requirements, leaving serious gaps in their ability to address more stringent regulatory environments and ensure conformance to corporate policy. These gaps make it difficult for legacy provisioning systems to meet governance and compliance requirements and can lead to costly inefficiencies, failed audits and increased risk of inappropriate access to critical IT systems and applications.

Organizations simply cannot assume that yesterday’s provisioning technologies are the answer to today’s identity governance requirements. This white paper explains why legacy provisioning solutions cannot meet the new user lifecycle management and governance challenges of today’s global organizations. It also discusses a new strategic and more sustainable approach offered by the next generation of provisioning solutions built on an identity governance foundation.
