New Chapter: Managing Scale and Scope in a Distributed WAN Environment
 Download the newest chapter from The Shortcut Guide to Optimized WAN Application Delivery!
By filtering and prioritizing traffic before it hits the WAN, then compressing, encrypting, and reducing all traffic that actually transits the WAN, WAN optimization supports careful conservation of a scarce and often expensive resource. Certainly, the ability to limit bandwidth consumption and control costs helps explain the value that WAN optimization adds to the bottom line. But the visibility into activity and the opportunity for consistent, centralized management and control over network use and activity also explains why WAN optimization offers more than financial incentives to its users.

Messaging and Web Security Volume III !
In the summer of 2008, the city of San Francisco found itself the victim of an apparent case of insider abuse. A city employee allegedly locked out other administrators from the city’s fiber optic network and reserved-top level administrative privileges for himself. The employee was arrested and eventually surrendered passwords to the mayor of San Francisco. Many might wonder how an organization the size of the city of San Francisco, with complex networks and information systems, could become victim to a single person? Unfortunately, it is easier than we might imagine...

New Series: Eliminating Administrator Rights
 Download the complete series!
Too often in today’s IT environments the solution for difficult applications or difficult users is to simply grant them administrator rights and move along. Yet that accumulated distribution of admin rights, and the inappropriate actions and potential for problems that goes with it, eventually takes away IT’s ability to control the environment. The problem with the Windows OS is that sometimes the only way to accomplish a needed task is with Administrator rights. With the right tools and techniques, no more. In The Essentials Series: Eliminating Administrator Rights, we’ll talk about the issues with granting privileges and the ways to take them back. You’ll understand the concept of Least Privilege, the business benefits of eliminating excessive privileges, and the limitations you’ve probably already experienced in today’s native solutions for privilege management.
Articles include:
Article #1: Understanding Least Privilege
Article #2: The Business Benefits of Eliminating Administrator Rights
Article #3: Limitations in Native Solutions for Privilege Management
The Essentials Series: Eliminating Administrator Rights, authored by Greg Shields, is available at: http://nexus.realtimepublishers.com/ESEAR.htm
