Thanks to flexibility and more usage of new technologies such as cloud computing, rich Internet applications, service-oriented architectures and virtualization, data center operations need to be more dynamic, with fluid boundaries. The shift toward a new computing environment adds layers of complexity that have broad implications for how information technology managers secure the components of a data center to protect data from malicious attack or compromise.
Quality IT managers are increasingly paving new channels to ensure completely secure transactions, which means securing everything from the desktop and network to applications and storage. Traditionally, the network support team secured the networks, and the application team would handle data encryption. But the present and emerging environments call for new methods. Organizations need to monitor that all data center operations interact correctly and that each element of the data center is secure. In addition, federal agencies must manage the policies, people and technologies needed to secure dynamic, fluid data centers.
