The increasing number of endpoints used to access a network
in any enterprise environment can greatly affect security.
Endpoints that connect to the enterprise and are corrupted in
some way can infect other parts of the enterprise and cause
significant IT infrastructure damage and loss of productivity.
Additionally, organizations must address security compliance
as they are faced with an increasing numbers of internal,
industry, and government policies, standards, and
regulations.
This IBM Redbook discusses the IBM Integrated Security
Solution for Cisco Networks, which offers a security-rich,
policy-based security compliance and remediation solution
for small, medium, and large businesses. We explain how
administrative tasks can be simplified by centralizing the
administration of defined security policies, automating
security policy enforcement and execution, and automating
endpoint security scans. As a result we can create
notifications of security compliance vulnerabilities,
quarantine, and automatically remediate noncompliant
workstations before a potential security incident occurs.
This book is targeted at security professionals, architects, and
senior security and IT managers to provide valuable
architectural, technical, and planning information.
