(PRIORITIES2008) vulnerability management

For survey participants, another area of concern on the vulnerability management front is simplifying security management. About 60 percent ranked it as important for this year. While 19 percent plan to evaluate security information management systems (SIMs), 25 percent will evaluate an alternative: log management systems (see chart, above).

Forrester Research ...



analyst Paul Stamp says he hears a lot of interest in simplifying security management.

Part of the reason is that security duties are often handed to employees who aren't necessarily security specialists, such as a network technician managing the firewall. Security is just one of their responsibilities, so they're looking to make it easier, he says.

Organizations also are looking to streamline security management for auditing purposes.
