Yet, ensuring proper system configuration is becoming increasingly difficult. It is imperative that companies gain a certain level of configuration intelligence to allow them to make security processes more efficient and effective, and in turn, to enable business optimization. Dr. Moreau will explain the limitations of existing configuration management technologies for supporting security management, as well as provide a perspective on emerging configuration management strategies. "Knowing definitively, how a system is actually configured, as opposed to how it should be configured is critical to creating effective remediation and mitigation strategies," said Dr. Moreau. "Enterprise configuration standards are established through IT governance and operational planning processes. The integration of information in support of standards based configuration management greatly improves the execution of compliance-related efforts."
