In search of a better approach to secure e-mail
The volume of internet traffic generated by an ever-increasing number of applications, including e-mail, Instant Messaging (IM), web services, Voice over IP (VoIP), and other network transactions is growing unabated. Together with these applications has come an associated proliferation in the number of user identities within enterprises – e-mail addresses, IM handles, VoIP telephone numbers, all of which need to be managed. Concurrently, companies are under increasing scrutiny to adhere to government regulations and other compliance requirements to protect the privacy of customers, employees, and their personal data.

Managing information security in modern commercial environments
We began this series of articles with the observation that recent advances in the area of network technology and the success of the Internet have resulted in a new business model. This new model has resulted in a number of new challenges in the area of information security which, although largely understood, are only partially resolved.

Managing Information Security in Modern Commercial Environments, Part 2 – A Pro-Active Approach
In the first article of this series, we identified and provided examples of the types of issues that need to be resolved if organisations are to correctly manage risk in the area of information security. If we combine the impact of these trends and issues with the fact that most enterprises are being forced to cut costs in order to remain competitive the true magnitude of the problem becomes apparent. Simply put, information security managers have to secure more complex environments, faster and using less resources.
