Distributed Security Strategies

Distributed security refers to the logical security features that operate primarily within the enterprise network. There are seven primary security strategies to pursue in making your network resources secure.

• Authenticate all user access to system resources.
• Apply appropriate access control to all resources.
• Establish appropriate trust relationships between multiple domains.
• Enable data protection for sensitive data.
• Set uniform security policies.
• Deploy secure applications.
• Manage security administration.

Make these seven themes central to your distributed security plan. In the pages that follow, you will find an in-depth discussion of each strategy.
