Description of  Security Controls for Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 IT Compliance: Authorization, Authentication, and Access

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires public companies to implement internal controls over financial reporting, operations, and assets - all of which depend heavily on installing or improving information security technology. This work offers an in-depth look at why a network must be set up with certain authentication computer science protocols (rules for computers to talk to one another) that guarantee security. It addresses the critical concepts and skills necessary to design and create a system that integrates identity management, meta-directories, identity provisioning, authentication, and access control. This work is a companion book to "Manager's Guide to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act" (0-471-56975-5) and "How to Comply with Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404" (0-471-65366-7).
