Tighter budgets and increased oversight are driving significant reporting requirements for IT compliance. From security and operations to software audits and virtualization, agencies are under increasing pressure to improve transparency into their IT environments across all technologies and processes. With growing architectural complexity and unpredictable vendor consolidation, keeping up with the constant demands for information can overwhelm any agency. Creating and maintaining a credible IT baseline - hardware, software, physical and virtual assets - is the foundation for successful IT compliance. This session will discuss strategies and practices for successful IT baselining and show how government agencies have addressed IT compliance in effective ways.
