Templatizing Security -- Making Security Management Easier

There's an interesting new concept for managing security -- templates. This approach not only allows you to configure your system to reflect your security policies more quickly, but also makes it much easier to ensure it is still configured correctly tomorrow, next month, and next year. Templatizing security management can reduce the amount of time and money you spend implementing and managing security and for managing compliance and compliance audits. Join Pat Botz as he provides a general overview of the template approach to security management and explains the potentially large benefits of this new approach.
