Streamline Your Data Center with Three Key Optimized Security Measures
We’ve just authored a white paper on three must-have security measures that focuses on pivotal tactics and controls required for safe data center innovation. We’ve focused on controls that will enable security to be adaptive and responsive, enable users to securely access applications they need, and secure boundaries while demarcating between physical, virtual and cloud services. The goal of this white paper is to highlight three simple measures needed to take full advantage of security as a programmable element of the data center fabric. These measures leverage a design architecture that Cisco uniquely provides and that allows security to be easily built in at the design phase rather than being bolted on post implementation.
