SECURITY PROVISIONING: MANAGING ACCESS EXTENDED ENTERPRISES

As enterprises automate more and more of their business processes and integrate those processes to achieve zero latency, they may increase their vulnerability to change. Preautomated business processes rely on informal circuit breakers to moderate the impact or pace of change across the enterprise. If change is not effectively addressed as processes move online or onto the Internet, their velocity and scope of effect can disrupt and overwhelm normal processing. Fortunately, there is a solution. This book's purpose is to provide senior corporate management and IT administrators with a clear vision of the advantages, criteria and implementation considerations of using policy-based provisioning to manage security access rights across the enterprise and beyond. Its goal is to provide an overview of the business, people and technology factors that comprise the new collaborative realities of the virtualized and extended enterprise, to provide an overview of past, present and future access needs, expectations, relevant analyst and business data, and to illustrate how provisioning is central for ensuring the integrity of corporate policies, individual privacy and overall system security. The book will also explore how to make business partners as efficient as internal employees while establishing a successful security infrastructure.Pikover, Yuri is the author of 'SECURITY PROVISIONING: MANAGING ACCESS EXTENDED ENTERPRISES' with ISBN 9781893209336 and ISBN 1893209334.
