Managing Change Risk on Critical IT Infrastructure
Thursday, May 03, 2007
2:00pm Eastern/11am Pacific
Abstract
Change to Critical IT systems such as ERP systems with complex configurations, email and other systems with large user fan-out, directory or DNS systems where there is a cascade effect and fragile systems running on legacy platforms often presents considerable business risk. Change-related outages on these systems, loss of integrity of operations, security breaches, and audit weaknesses can all be extremely costly. Any risk management strategy for critical IT systems must seek to drive infrastructure change through established process, track and document all change including emergency change, and eliminate ad hoc change wherever possible.
In this webinar, Motorola's CISO, Bill Boni, talks about a specific class of critical systems where any change represents risk. Motorola still has a significant number of critical systems running the Windows NT legacy operating system. The difficulty in migrating these systems to a current platform, combined with dramatically increasing cost of extended support and high risk of applying patches to fragile legacy systems, led Motorola to look to a new approach to risk management for these critical systems.
Mr. Boni presents Motorola's solution requirements, evaluation criteria, and decision to adopt a change control approach. He also describes Motorola's vision for deploying change control on other critical systems across the company. View this on-demand webcast to get an inside look at how a leading security expert controls his company's critical infrastructure.
