The rules of engagement are changing in the network security war. The enemyis no longer restricted to a few access points around the perimeter of yournetwork. Now he's hiding in the trees, well armed, ready to pick off yourcorporate data. It's easier than ever to get into your network.
Internet access is everywhere.
Often security gets overlooked in the mad rush to make information cheaplyavailable. Stripped of all of the security jargon, protecting a network is about preventingunauthorized or incorrect use of a system, and determining accountabilityif this occurs. Without strong user identification, not simply device identificati on,you don't have real security. Your audit trails are worthless if you can'tconfirm the identity of the person behind the keyboard. Whentied closely to good host and operating system audit trails, you can holdpeople accountable for their actions.
