TOPIC: "Balancing Network Security with Accessibility"
Mauricio Sanchez, Chief Network Security Architect, HP ProCurve Networking
Abstract: Enterprise networks are becoming more open, which brings important business benefits – along with serious security challenges. With greater openness, how can security professionals maintain access by authorized users to the data and resources required for optimum productivity, while still protecting the network from both external and internal threats? While there's no single, magic-bullet answer to the perennial issue of accessibility vs. security, there are a number of proven network security principles that can guide any enterprise to a better balance between the two. Start with creating an integrated, mutli-layered approach to network security, based on a trusted network infrastructure, that combines both offensive and defensive measures, simultaneously.
