Implementation Considerations

 Network perimeter is clearly defined  ‘Trusted’ users are only inside the network Past Evolving Security Usage Models Future A shift towards a less defined network and trusted-user base will require increased emphasis on end-user authentication and data encryption… Paradigm Shift Wireless Increasing On-line Info Remote Access Extranets Internet  Network perimeter is less defined  ‘Trusted’ users both inside and outside the network
