Security Series: Looking ahead (Sept. 10, 17 and 24, 2007)
Too often information security management becomes a time-consuming
game of catch up. One day it’s scrambling to patch vulnerabilities
after they’ve been exploited by hackers, another day it’s
revising policy and fielding quick fixes in response to a loss
or stolen portable device. Smart security managers know that
while new problems are inevitable, good planning beforehand will
minimize their impact and the time and resources needed to fix
them.

Storage: Part 1 (May
14, 2007)
Storage consolidation, which can be done by using fewer but larger
storage devices or centralizing data in a storage-area network
(SAN), provides an alternative strategy that is putting many
government agencies on the path of cost avoidance.

 | Smart manager: Desktop management (March
19, 2007)
Here’s a tall order: Time the replacement of hundreds,
if not thousands, of desktop and laptop computers, balancing
factors such as user productivity, return on investment, vendor
upgrade schedules, component pricing and broad technology trends.
That’s the task information technology organizations
face as they seek to keep large inventories of computers up-to-date
and running productively.

Homeland Security Special Report (Feb.
26, 2007)
Security experts expect that information technology will figure
prominently in helping federal officials meet the country’s
homeland security challenges. The good news is that most of
what is needed is available. The bad news is that picking the
right technology is merely the first step.
