Tivoli tackles security puzzle
IBM's on-demand computing strategy incorporates intelligent hardware and smart software working in concert to automate the allocation and provisioning of IT resources. To do this, the company contends IT managers will have to start bridging the gaps between disparate systems, and Big Blue plans to help by putting security and systems management together to address identity, provisioning, configuration and compliance management. Vice-president of provisioning and security development for Tivoli Software Group, Arvind Krishna, spoke with IDG about how IBM plans to bring security to its management wares.
