A quick glance at the business headlines will tell you that the current approaches to securing IT infrastructure are falling short. Developed long before cloud, BYOD, and the hyper-connectivity of the current business environment, today’s security solutions address only discrete parts of the enterprise in isolation; they lock down the network or the endpoint, the user or the data. Operating in silos, these approaches create gaps that can be exploited, and force IT to manage each piece separately. They challenge end users with pointless, inefficient complexity, which increases cost without adequately reducing risk. And as a result, security becomes the process of restriction and denial, rather than a business enabler.
