Technology trends such as cloud computing and virtualization initiatives are being driven by the rule in IT projects for 2011 – efficiency and optimization. This urge to do more with less is forcing enterprises to lower costs while maintaining a secure IT infrastructure. In my latest column in SecurityWeek, I cover how utilizing the corporate directory is one of the best ways enterprises can optimize security for the messaging infrastructure.
For example, the article addresses how businesses can make the best use of corporate directory information realizing efficiency gains and measurable improvement in the following areas:
- Directory-driven Email Security
- Email Acceptance at the Internet Gateway
- Email Routing in Large Organizations
- Compliance Policy Controls
- Authentication and Authorization
- Secure Deployment of Directories
- Quantifiable ROI
Email remains one of the most prevalent means of communication within businesses and the corporate directory contains information vital to the operation of the email environment and is also a source of information that can be used for higher value security applications. When the directory infrastructure is leveraged by the email security infrastructure, quantifiable ROI is translated by reduced traffic, selective archiving and encryption of messages, and fewer mail servers deployed.
More details on this topic can be found in my latest contributed column, “Optimizing Email Security With Directory Integration”, in SecurityWeek which can be viewed here.
