Brand Spanking New Server and Domain Isolation Case Study
Hot off the presses, we've just published a brand spanking new customer case study about how the City of Sapporo (Japan) implemented a Server and Domain Isolation solution.
Here's a link to the case study (which you can also find with several case studies on our our Server and Domain Isolation TechNet site):
Major Japanese Municipal Principal Government Achieves Security Compliance at Nil Cost
Here's a little bit about what you'll learn:
In 2004, the local government of the City of Sapporo, Japan, established a security policy to define and control how the city maintained its information assets. With 12,000 users working in almost 870 departments and limited enforcement resources available in the form of staff and operational procedures, policy compliance proved difficult to achieve. By implementing a Server and Domain Isolation solution based on Microsoft Windows Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) and Active Directory, the City of Sapporo was able to implement cost-effective end-point authentication to dynamically segment its Windows environment into more secure and isolated logical networks, without requiring costly changes to its network infrastructure or applications. The solution has improved information security and reduced the risk of unauthorized access to confidential data on the organization’s Intranet.
What's neat?
They did all this on Windows Server 2003, Windows XP and Windows 2000.
Does that mean there's nothing in Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 that you should be interested?
Not true.
With Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, we make deploying a solution like the one outlined in the above case study easier to configure, deploy and maintain. Neat stuff!
And, they've also laid a foundation that can be used to help enforce network access once Windows Server 2008 ships and introduces Network Access Protection.
Enjoy!
