It's Time to Fix The Firewall

Date: June 2009
Type: White Paper
Rating: (2)

Overview: For the last 15 years, port-blocking firewalls have been the cornerstone of enterprise network security.

By “fixing the firewall,” organizations can safely enable a new breed of applications, without taking on the unnecessary risks that accompany them in traditional organizations.
