CN (Canadian National Railway)www.cn.ca IT Automation Initiative for Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance Project Lead: Bruno Quesnel, Network Engineer
Project Description: Deployed Opsware's Network Automation System to automate the complete operational lifecycle of its network
devices from bare-metal provisioning to policy-based change management, compliance, and security administration. Using Opsware,
CN gained control over its heterogeneous network of 2,000-plus devices. By implementing Opsware Network Automation System
across its network devices, CN can now automatically detect and auto-remediate noncompliant configurations. Opsware helps
CN ensure compliance with policies and best practices by automatically validating proposed changes, deployment, and automatically
rolling back unauthorized or noncompliant changes. It also prohibits unauthorized device access and allows CN to prevent noncompliant
changes, security breaches, and errors before they happen by screening all change activity through a compliance model.
