Internet Dial Tones & Firewalls: One Policy Does Not Fit All
The popular image of the corporate firewall is a gatehouse guarding
the corporate network, implying a single security domain. Todays corporate
security realities are, however, far more subtle. Once past the
gatehouse, organizations are not monolithic security domains
populated by indistinguishable individuals. Contractors, joint ventures,
transient technicians, special access projects, and others all play a role in
today's organization. Each aspect has its own needs (and limitations) for
Internet and Intranet access.
The challenge is to provide each of the many constituencies with secure access
while accommodating their inevitably conflicting rights, responsibilities and
needs. In short, an organization must ensure internal security and regulatory
conformance, while still allowing staff, salesmen, and contractors appropriate
access to internal and external systems as needed.
The needs and requirements of typical constituencies will be examined. Ways to
maintain ease of use and its attendant reduction in Total Cost of Ownership
(TCO) will be explored. Our review will include the benefits and limitations of
firewalls, SSL, HTTPS, VPNs, proxy servers, authentication, and WiFi
(802.11a/b/g).
