Overview Keeping track of who accesses what resources within the enterprise network continues to be a key challenges for IT executives charged with enhancing productivity while ensuring security. It is especially challenging as extended enterprise networking initiatives provide "outsiders" with access to data and applications on internal corporate networks. This White Paper explores how identity management and provisioning strategies deal with the need to simultaneously make enterprise-computing facilities in North America and Westen Europe more open and secure. It contends that the key to supporting new business process initiatives revolves around clearly identifying and classifying the types of users who access network resources, and develop automatically enforceable rules that manage what resources different types of users can access based on their job functions and responsibilities.
