Getting Federal Data Center Consolidation Right the First Time: Successful Strategies for Identity, Security & Auditing
Webinar featuring Fred Sherman, IT infrastructure guru for government and civilian enterprises
The on-going efforts to reform Federal IT are focused on consolidation of data centers across Civilian and Defense Agencies. In the process Federal IT leaders hope to promote shared services and cloud computing models. Regardless of their location, systems and applications need to be secured, controlled and audited for compliance. Clearly, data center consolidation success requires centralization of identities on UNIX, Linux and Mac OS X systems in order to achieve compliance and enable shared services.
Please join Centrify and vTech Solutions for this complimentary Web seminar that addresses some of the challenges Federal Agencies face in addressing identity and access management requirements as they consolidate data centers and move to a 'share first' approach to services that can be used government-wide.
This Web seminar will cover:
- The challenges of consolidating fractured identity and access management infrastructures within and across data centers
- How leveraging existing Active Directory is a lightweight and cost-effective strategy for identity consolidation and access management
- The advantages of centralized identity and privileged management for security profiles, least-access policy and delegated administration of systems running in cloud computing environments and within Federal data centers
