Re-Inventing Network Security: Creating a New Perimeter in a Deperimeterized World   August 26, 2010 San Francisco, CA Parc 55 Wyndham San Francisco As traditional network security tools such as firewalls become increasingly ineffective in blocking today’s threats, the network “perimeter” continues to disappear for enterprise users. Information security professionals are continually frustrated by applications and services such as Skype, Twitter, and Facebook, applications designed specifically to slip through firewalls.
