Linking Physical and IT Security
One of our product manager's, Anshu Sharma has just had a new article published -- "Securing the
Enterprise - Linking Physical and IT Security".
It covers a topic that probably lies just below the surface in many
organizations - that is how to link together the access policies to
physical structures (buildings, rooms, offices, etc) with your internal
IT policies. In some cases this can be very secured using identity
cards that act as keys to gain access to locked rooms (how many large
organizations work today). Or it could just be an audit trail for more
informal systems (how I worked in higher-ed or at most small companies).
If you were at this year's Catalyst Conference - you could have even
seen a very cool demo of linking badges together with Oracle
Identity Manager.
