The digital infrastructure used by businesses and governments is more sophisticated, more complex and more vital than ever. Read this paper to learn about Security Intelligence and Event Data Warehouse solutions that are purpose-built to address the decision support requirements of security, risk, and compliance operations. 

Human error and hardware or software failures can easily corrupt Active Directory. AD objects can often be modified or deleted by mistake and faulty scripts can overwrite attributes. The result is unplanned system downtime and lost user productivity. 

Participants at industry conferences and events often ask where the right place to start implementing security is. This is similar to starting off a talk with a doctor by asking “What medicine should I take?” The answer is going to be more questions. This article presents three questions to ask yourself before starting a security implementation. 

Businesses today grow and change at a frantic pace, making Active Directory (AD) management one of the most time-consuming IT tasks. AD administrators struggle to keep up with requests to create, change or remove user access to various network resources. 

Active Directory certainly gets plenty of attention when it comes to high-profile issues like security, compliance, auditing, and so forth—but what about all of the work you do managing AD on a day-to-day basis? Learn how Quest ActiveRoles Server (ARS)makes AD administration more efficient, automated, consistent, powerful and faster. 

This article describes how to develop flexible WS Management-based solutions for Intel® Active Management Technology using the .NET development environment. The basic ingredients and building blocks of a WSMan-based solution will be presented. We've included some coding samples (written using Windows 2008) to help illustrate this information. 

Microsoft Active Directory has always proven ideal in providing secure access of users to all systems in an enterprise using the Windows platform. Unfortunately, by itself, AD can't provide the same level of security, compliance, and scalability to Unix, Linux, and Java systems. Quest Software can bridge that gap. 

This podcast explores the key changes made to Windows Server 2008 R2 in Active Directory, Group Policy and Terminal Services. Discover how your organization can leverage these improvements for reduced costs, increased control and improved efficiency. 

This article presents an overview of the various Ethernet 10/100/1000 physical layer technologies for the copper medium. It discusses the pros and cons of active versus passive tapping and why active tapping is preferred for Gigabit Ethernet running over the copper medium. The switch-over behavior of active relay-based tapping is also presented. 

This paper addresses one of the critical IBM technologies for supporting agility and alignment, Business Event Processing (BEP). 

The purpose of this whitepaper is to describe best practices for securing IBM System i/i-Series/AS400 systems and detail the AS400 monitoring service provided by SecureWorks. 

Organizations that do not have an active management strategy are often left with significant server sprawl issues. This expert webcast discusses a three pronged approach for overcoming these issues and explores different options for virtualization on Linux platforms.
