IT Security Monitoring with OpsMgr 2007
Today, IT security is a big challenge. Security as a whole encompasses a wide variety of items from building access to network security. One of the biggest problem facing security administrators today is tracking user’s access to servers and shared corporate data. This data is notoriously difficult to manage as many people use it and therefore there is a much greater risk of unauthorized access attempts.The first step to securing an IT infrastructure is to actually decide who should have access and who shouldn’t. Then you can put in place the necessary restrictions. But how do we then ensure these restrictions are not only in place but that they are also efficient? Utilizing an existing Microsoft System Center Operations Manager 2007 management group, you can install and configure Audit Collection which is used to securely collect and store audit information from key Active Directory Domain Controllers and servers and even client machines should this be required. Not only that, but utilizing SQL 2005 Reporting Services, the data can be viewed in a number of reports to make interpreting it much easier and more intuitive. In addition, the out of the box functionality can be enhanced with the addition of some excellent add-on software by SecureVantage. (continue at source)
