Achieving Network Security

"... too much focus tends to be given to external threats when the dangers lurking inside the organisation are arguably even greater"
AT&T   Point of View

Most network administrators are missing key information to monitor security threats from inside an organisation. I was one of those administrators.

Ask yourself the following questions about your network:
  • Do I know who is currently using the computers in my network?
  • Do I know what software is installed on the computers in my network?
  • Do I know when a user account or computer account was last used on my network?
  • Do I know who has remote-access dial-in rights to my network?
If you answered "no" to any of the above questions, then you have a hole in the security of your network.

Facilitate Network Administration

Having a set of tools to efficiently administrate a network is crucial to meeting the challenges of a network administrator. We live in a world that changes every day meaning that servers are continually introduced and removed from your environment, that new business reorganizinations demand that IT infrastructure change to support new models. A network administrator can very easily spend 90% of their time implementing these changes by re-entering values for thousands of users, or writing a library of scripts to facilitate these changes.

Here are some common tasks that changing environments demand, are you prepared for them?
  • You replace a file server on your network with a new one and need to change all your users who had their roaming profile pointing to the previous server to point to the new server.
  • You have just moved on of your large offices to a new location and need to update all the addresses of the employees to reflect the move.
  • You have implemented a new security policy that does not allow users to login during the weekend, and need to change all employees allowed login hours.
  • You are upgrading the clients on your network and need to generate a list of computers on your network with which operating system and service pack they are running.
