Presentation
The evolving role of firewalls in our increasingly boundaryless environment
This presentation takes into account some of the Jericho Forum's thinking regarding the move towards de-perimeterization, and describes the role that firewalls will play as security moves closer towards the data itself. There is a common mis-perception that de-perimeterization means remove firewalls, when in fact it may mean more firewalls, deployed in different ways so as to give effective protection to trust zones, and in particular deployed closer to data.
