Configuresoft to Demonstrate Security Control at Vanguard Enterprise Security Expo & RACF

Configuresoft, the recognized leader in highly scalable enterprise policy compliance, configuration management, and security patch management technology, today announced that Jason Sherry, senior product manager, and Chris Farrow, director of Configuresoft's Center for Policy & Compliance, will host classes focused on enterprise security control during the Vanguard Enterprise Security Expo and RACF 2005 at the JW Marriott, Orlando, Florida. Attendees of Mr. Sherry's class will learn how to effectively administer and manage Windows 2003 security policies, and how to track key enterprise security settings and configurations. Mr. Farrow's class will focus on how to create security configuration policies, monitor security configurations and meet security compliance requirements.

Jason Sherry will highlight strategies that enable IT staff to effectively administer and supervise Windows 2003 security policies. Controlling security policies is critical to managing the protection of corporate information assets. Corporations must configure, monitor and enforce security, policy and regulatory guidelines at the operating system and the directory level by tracking how security settings are configured, providing change management capabilities and enabling patch management and OS version monitoring.
