You learned it in school. During the Middle Ages, kings would build castles so that when their people were threatened and had to be defended, they could run inside and close the doors. From the height of the wall (the first firewall), soldiers could fight and defend the townspeople. High castle walls and the deep rivers surrounding them, protected the castle. And it worked well—some of the time.
Then came the Renaissance. Far more sophisticated weapons and more organized armies demanded new defense strategies. Kings still built castles, but they understood that a castle was no longer the best way to protect the people. In fact, the opposite was true. Castles became luxurious homes for the rich; battles had to take place far away so as not to damage the castle. In the Renaissance, leaders recognized a castle was the best defense in a static world. But in an increasingly dynamic (i.e., mobile) world where everyone is a nomad, it was only a piece of the solution.
Finally, the Modern Age arrived. Today, people travel around the world in planes, trains, and cars. They do global business. They rely on pieces of plastic called credit cards. They communicate with friends everywhere on the planet. Inside continents such as Europe and the Americas, borders have virtually disappeared.
Today there are no castles to protect people, but cameras and satellites are everywhere. Protection is not about the width of a wall or the size of a battlefield. It is about building an overall worldwide security system that works with individuals’ behavior. This white paper will:
• Explain the high-level evolutions enterprises and their security officers face.
• Point out key considerations including people, devices, and data rating.
• Suggest scenarios following the information lifecycle to implement security policies in the organization.• Review technologies to better secure the information technology system.
• Discuss the latest changes in the global environment.
• Provide indications, tricks, recommendations, techniques, and useful technologies.
• Explain how we can move from building firewalls to instilling security behaviors into each employee.
