Secure Search in the Enterprise
August 11th, 2006 | Published in Google Enterprise
I came across a nice article that accurately frames the challenges with security and search in the enterprise. The first in a series from New Idea Engineering, the piece titled "Mapping Security Requirements to Enterprise Search - Part 1: Defining Specific Security Requirements" gives a good overview of the various types of deployment options and security decisions organizations have to make when deploying search across the enterprise.
Security continues to be one of the more challenging parts of every enterprise search deployment. Most enterprise content systems weren't designed with high powered, sub-second, secure search in mind. The Google Search Appliance handles all types of security environments from NTLM to LDAP to Single Sign-On to X.509 to SAML. We continue to work with the industry leaders in the security and access control space to help solve this problem in a scalable and easy to deploy manner.
I look forward to the next article in New Idea's series.
