RE: Security Simplification

If he wants simpler security tell him to drop your connection to the
Internet and get rid of all the users. Not only will it be secure, but it
will have 99.99999999% uptime too.

It's very vague. I bet what he wants is a simpler _user
experience_ - fewer passwords to track, fewer logins,
more Single Sign-On.

But, you have to find out what he wants/needs.

If you were told by a VP to simplify security for your organization, what
you think would be a starting point? It's seems vague. We run Windows
servers/desktops that are built on the same images. We use Cisco
switches/routers/etc. I'm not really sure where to start.
