SECURITY INFRASTRUCTURE

摘要

The tools in this section have an extremely important role in the overall security of our data. While they do not protect the data directly, they provide the platform on which good information assurance is built. These tools define and manage the security infrastructure by managing risk and implementing policy. That makes them the centerpiece for compliance, a critical aspect of today's enterprise.Like most tools of this type, these risk and policy management tools can be quite large and complicated. However, that does not mean that they have to feel large and complicated. One of the major innovations that we saw this year was ease of use. These tools may exemplify that. One of the pleasant things that comes out of ease of use is the need to think about how the tool is going to be used and what its environment is likely to be.
