Fuller Labs 320

Abstract:

The traditional electronic boundary between a corporate (or `private')

network and the Internet is breaking down in the trend which we have

called de-perimeterization. Traditional approaches to architecting

security solutions are aimed at securing organizational borders, and then

the network, reinforcing a `perimeterized' perspective. This is contrary

to the future business needs of most organisations. The current computing

model is not working. All indications point to a disruptive change towards

a new way of thinking for computing models that address the challenges

raised by industry thought leaders in the Jericho Forum. This talk is to

introduce the issues to the academic world for reevaluating past security

computing models.
