Abstract
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.
