The information technology in an organization is a dynamic resource that is constantly adapted to meet changing needs. The rational practice of controlling that change is known as systems management. As with many other organizational practices, systems management has evolved from informal, ad hoc responses to immediate needs to a well understood, formalized practice. This book, The Definitive Guide to Service-Oriented Systems Management, examines best practices for systems management with an emphasis on a modularized approach known as services oriented management (SOM).

The past seven chapters have discussed the myriad reasons why organizations must address security within the perimeter as diligently, or even more so, than they approach security of the perimeter. Chapter 8 will boil all this information and advice down into an information security recipe for effectively addressing security within the perimeter. With this in mind, this chapter reviews the key concepts within each chapter, then identifies the key actions organizations need to take-the information security recipe-to ensure the entire enterprise is secured within the perimeter.
Chapter 8 of The Definitive Guide® to Security Inside the Perimeter, written by Rebecca Herold, is available at: http://nexus.realtimepublishers.com/links/newsletter/dgsip.asp

The first two chapters focused on defining and exploring key elements of PKI and how the root certificates and infrastructure need to be managed. Chapter 3 will cover the entire functional lifecycle of a digital certificate. The certificate lifecycle consists of five distinct phases: issuance, re-issuance, expiry, renewal, and revocation. This chapter is full of helpful hints, best practices, and resources that will save you time, help you avoid embarrassing and expensive site outages, and steer you towards the correct certificate product for your application.

This short eBooklet investigates why SSL VPNs failed to live up to their expectations, and why businesses continue to use more traditional remote access techniques. It also looks at how some technologists and companies are rethinking SSL VPNs and are delivering on the original promise using exciting new techniques and concepts. You'll see that although SSL VPNs might originally have failed, they're back in action and they're probably the best bet for your future remote access technology.
Chapter 1 of SSL VPNs: Lessons Learned, authored by Don Jones, is available exclusively from eBooklet sponsor Blue Coat Systems' site at: http://www.permeo.com/library/show_reg.php?cid=1303
