Managing change is never an easy task. By proactively managing change through visibility and application of policies, organizations now have the ability to secure the change management process throughout the IT infrastructure. Drivers such as achieving SOX and C-198 compliance can be accomplished, while securely managing change and protecting against existing and unknown threats. Customer perspectives and industry solutions will be presented to show that Securing Change Management provides tangible benefits and is the foundation for ensuring uptime and availability.
