Many organizations are looking for ???better security,???
but have a tough time identifying specifically what they mean by ???better.??? Without
knowing the question, it is impossible to properly define the answer, so it is important to
properly outline these goals and objectives in advance.
Every organization has different needs in this category, and it is impossible to list them
all. However, some of the more common goals and objectives of an ISA server design
project are the following:
. Secure access to Internet-facing services
. Provide for the capability to monitor traffic between network segments
. Provide for the capability to report on Internet traffic patterns
. Reduce the amount of Internet bandwidth consumed
. Enable employees to securely access network resources from remote locations
. Design an infrastructure that is compliant with government regulations such as
HIPAA or Sarbanes-Oxley
. Reduce the overhead and complexity associated with managing security infrastructure
The first stage in a design process is to map out these goals and objectives in advance to
provide for a common roadmap. This information is then used for later portions of the
design project.
