As network and security administrators work to keep networks secure, compliant and running smoothly, they are largely finding the solutions currently installed in their networks to be inadequate, according to a Frost & Sullivan survey underwritten by Telcordia. The survey, which measured usage and satisfaction attitudes of IT managers, found that more than 60 percent were not satisfied with the ability of their existing network change and configuration management (NCCM) products based, in part, on a significant gap between desired and available product functionality. Our latest research has shown that network and security administrators are struggling with existing solutions to adequately maintain their networks, which are growing increasingly more complicated in the face of increased users, devices and security threats, said Debbie Wong, Consultant, North America, Business & Financial Services Group, Frost & Sullivan.

2008 has been the year in which the lines between organizational initiatives for information management and information security began to merge and the implications for storage, security and compliance executives became significant. Gijo Mathew, VP of Security Solutions for Orchestria, the proven leader in Information Protection and Control, notes that the convergence of managing security risks, adhering to compliance/legal obligations, and classifying information has been driven by more effective IT Governance.

Even CEOs can't read statements compliant with the law.The goal of the 2002 Sarbanes-Oxley Act was to make corporate accounting more transparent. In practice, a new Cato Institute study finds, the law's requirements have had the opposite effect. Sarbanes-Oxley sought to achieve its aims by having the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) mandate that corporations use Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in reporting their balance sheets to shareholders. In the Cato Institute Briefing Paper FASB: Making Financial Statements Mysterious, T.J. Rodgers explains why the GAAP rules complicate financial statements to the point where even CEOs have trouble reading them. Rodgers, a founder, president, CEO and director of Cypress Semiconductor Corporation who sits on the board of several high-technology companies, uses his personal experience to illustrate how these rules obfuscate financial reports.
