Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

With increasing workforce mobility and the extension of the business supply chain globally, organizations are struggling to keep up with increasing corporate and regulatory compliance requirements. Regulations such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS), and Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) have forced many organizations to spend millions of dollars on compliance with little or no real value to the organization's security posture. Although infrastructure and operations professionals may not be directly responsible for managing IT compliance, often they are implementing compliance requirements. If security implications are taken into account (in addition to the compliance requirements) while selecting, evaluating, and implementing infrastructure technologies, it could lead to savings in cost, effort, and even headcount.
