Network Security White Papers

Securing the Branch Office Network

Overview Networks are increasingly evolving from closed to more open systems by interconnecting business partners, suppliers, and customers. These open networks are becoming more reliant on un-trusted and sometimes public networks, such as the Internet, to carry converging voice, video, and data. At the same time, security threats have grown exponentially both from within the network as well as at the network perimeter. Without the appropriate security policies, processes, and products, Internet connectivity can compromise the very gains in productivity that help make companies more profitable. This paper discusses the critical elements and considerations needed when securing the branch office network.
