Security is like a box of chocolates…or a stack of swiss cheese, a fortified castle, a primary care physician, a medieval royal escort, a hotel, a chain, DNA, a car, or maybe a cheese grater (here)
There’s no way to create a big, thick perimeter when your corporate LAN extends to Starbucks. The endpoint is the new perimeter. ‘Hard on the outside’ no longer works, especially when you have to open your networks up to ‘millennials,’ young workers who are accustomed to using their iPhones <which will introduce a mobile malware tipping point (here)> Today, corporate security looks like a cheese grater, with lots of holes. What becomes important is protecting data.
One thing it apparently isn’t is effective, luckily data and security go together like peas and carrots…
Why don’t we visualize security as a mesh, with every point in the mesh caring to protect itself and all it’s connected to
This way, we involve all nodes, regardless of their physical position. When a node moves, the security moves with it
