White Papers for Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA)

Security Beyond Corporate Boundaries

Citrix

Ironclad security has become the Holy Grail for companies looking to protect corporate and customer information at large in the modern enterprise. The move toward greater data distribution – thanks to growing globalisation and worker mobility – is taking this sensitive data well outside the corporate network and creating new vulnerabilities in the process. As corporate data becomes increasingly difficult to protect,
security takes top priority for most IT organisations. However, deploying the latest firewall, antivirus or encryption tool can’t ward off today’s sophisticated intruders. Not just hackers, but organised crime, dishonest insiders and unfortunate mistakes are easily finding their way past these deterrents, especially
when critical data lies outside of IT control. What’s more, keeping on top of the threat is stretching IT
resources to their limits. Traditional security controls, which demand constant and immediate updates and attention, are just not enough. A new worm attack, stolen laptop or cunning access override can quickly snowball into disaster, further escalating when a user device must be individually deployed and maintained. Also, access controls as well as other security measures are hindering end user productivity, adding to IT
headaches.
