1699.0. "Windows NT Strategy?" by BRADEC::lucia.mil.brc.dec.com::Molnar (SI Bratislava) Mon May 19 1997 11:41

Hi folks,

is there anyone left in the security business, who could give me an 
insight as to what is our strategy with the emerging Windows NT 
platform? Are there any products from DIGITAL or whoever, which would 
relatively easily integrate new NT systems into existing OVMS 
environment? I'm referring to CM, SRF, SID and possibly Security 
Console combined with something on NT.

Is there any version of CM and SID planned on NT?

Will there be a native 32bit Security Console made?

If not, what are the replacement products we can recommend?

Is there anything within the CA alliance, which could replace the 
whole stuff?

Thank you,

Miro

	Miro, Right now I believe you have no other choice than to opt for ESM (Omniguard) from AXENT (RAXCO). The product uses a PC based GUI and agents on different platforms including UNIX, WNT and OpenVMS. Please check it out at http://www.axent.com/ Regards, Nand.

	Hi Nand, good to hear you again. I was already looking at AXENT products, the GUI on Win95 seems lot like our Security Console, doesn't it? I was asking my questions in .0 just because it's not clear to me how DIGITAL is fulfilling it's own security policy on production WNT systems. As I understand it, on production OpenVMS systems we were required to run the Compliance Manager and then centrally report. I don't believe SecureNT, or whatever is applied to our new Exchange infrastructure will integrate well into the existing environment. I think we better not present our customers the mess we introduced ourselves into our network infrastructure (from the security standpoint). Please, correct me if I'm wrong, so that I can prove our customers we still understand security in a heterogenius environment. Miro.

You may want to send mail to Jean-Paul Rambeau @VBE who is/was looking for a similar tool on NT. I don't know what the outcome was though. For what concerns my "limited cristal ball looking capability", it might very well be that OpenVMS 7.2 (Raven) offers a built-in solution just for this. But that's a year away (March '98 at the soonest). Regards, Nand.
