Presentation
Security in an open world
Open system architectures have at last become a reality. However, while open systems can deliver significant business benefits to large enterprises they also present new security challenges. With the ever increasing need to protect our organisations from fraud, and to ensure our compliance with more stringent fiscal regulations, open and secure can be seen as mutually exclusive goals.

Vordel will discuss the open architectures that are being deployed today, and the demands that they place on our security framework. Weexplore the nature of existing legacy security, and how this should be incorporated in to a new security infrastructure, and how this in turn can enable companies to deploy secure open systems.
