Good security requires that people communicate and cooperate across organizational
lines. Figure 9-1 shows the paths of communication needed to sustain a strong security
effort.
The Tandem Security System
The Tandem security system is an integrated group of software products that protect data
existing on a system. Tandem software allows you to implement a variety of security
policies through:
•
Authentication, to verify the identity of system users
•
Authorization, to control what users can do with system resources
•
Auditing, to record specified events on the system
•
Administration, to define access rights to system resources; translate policy into
enforceable access rules; add, change, and delete users and aliases; and maintain
file-sharing groups on the system
