Security vs. Flexibility: Must IT Management Choose? |
| By : Faronics |
Published Date: Sep 10, 2008 |
|
IT Managers are tasked with making the desktop environment more secure and locked down to a uniform corporate standard, yet flexible enough to handle the myriad of exceptions that arise across the enterprise.

HP Expands Server Toolkit - Provides Enhanced Options for Data Center |
|
|
Every professional mechanic or home handyman knows that you need the "right" tool to do the job. This entails making an initial investment to ensure that you have a complete set of screwdrivers, both slotted and Phillips-head, and a complete set of wrenches, both open-end and box-end, standard and metric, to be sure that you can handle any requirement, as well as a set of hex keys or Allen wrenches, in addition to any number of power tools. Sure, you can use the proverbial "adjustable" wrench that can be sized to fit any purpose (you know - One-Size-Fits-All, just not very well). However, this type of tool is known to slip, or even strip the threads of the hard-to-find expensive bolt, causing you to make an unexpected investment in both time and money. As an old familiar saying goes, "you can pay me now, or pay me later." Unfortunately, "pay me later" often turns out to be a larger figure!
