Exponential growth in storage capacity, coupled with emerging regulatory requirements, has led to greater emphasis on storage network vulnerabilities. http://issj.sys-con.com/read/44725.htmhttp://issj.sys-con.com/read/44725.htm Thu, 06 May 2004 00:00:00 GMT Let's review the typical access control system in use today. Not only are the various components disconnected but they are from different manufacturers and do not and will not integrate with each other. Some use incompatible hardware, or proprietary, unsynchronized databases, or completely inconsistent user interfaces that compete for space and attention. http://issj.sys-con.com/read/44726.htmhttp://issj.sys-con.com/read/44726.htm Thu, 06 May 2004 00:00:00 GMT There's no stemming the tide of information; with more users and more servers and more connectivity than ever before, the task of logging, storing, and archiving all of that activity is astounding. The temptation may be to simply, save it all. http://issj.sys-con.com/read/44727.htmhttp://issj.sys-con.com/read/44727.htm Thu, 06 May 2004 00:00:00 GMT Following World War I, France's Minister of War and Veteran Affairs, Andre Maginot, convinced the French parliament to build a perimeter line of defense from Switzerland to the Mediterranean to prevent Germany from invading France through its previously exploited Eastern frontier. http://issj.sys-con.com/read/44728.htmhttp://issj.sys-con.com/read/44728.htm Thu, 06 May 2004 00:00:00 GMT As the role of IT administrators continues to expand, it is imperative that companies not lose sight of their core responsibilities: managing and protecting corporate data.

While the price of high-performance disk storage continues to drop, it is not dropping fast enough to accommodate the annual doubling of data in more data-intensive environments. http://issj.sys-con.com/read/44731.htmhttp://issj.sys-con.com/read/44731.htm Thu, 06 May 2004 00:00:00 GMT A recent report from PricewaterhouseCoopers confirmed that most security breaches occur in stored data. Exponential growth in storage capacity, coupled with emerging regulatory requirements, has led to an even greater increase in storage network vulnerabilities.
