The death of traditional security

A wireless network really is different from the traditional cabled network. It's so different that analysts from Forrester are saying that traditional security is no longer up to the job of protecting your network. What will the future bring? The analysts have two terms that they say will define networks (and security) in the future. The first is "deperimeterization", a fancy way of acknowledging that mobile users and remote hotspots have made the traditional concept of a network perimeter meaningless. Next is "desktop virtualization," which means that your users won't run their desktop apps on the mobile device--they'll simply use it as a window into an enterprise desktop hosted on servers inside the corporate network. The result should be a network that doesn't require users to be security experts to keep corporate data safe.
