  2. A Changing World 2004 Security threats Worst Year On Record Internet reliance 1993 1996 2000 2003 2004

  3. New Constituents; Web Services; Partner Web Access; WLAN; Remote Employees Security Breach: Network Downtime, Lost Revenue, Regulatory Commitments, Damage to Corporate Reputation New, Dynamic & Blended Security Threats IT Budgets need to stay productivity focused Dedicated Security Resources are Limited 2004’s Top Security Concerns Security: Still A Challenge!

  4. Why is Security such a Big Challenge? • In a connected world everyone is a target • Attacks spread quickly • Multitude of distributed systems to protect (and connect) • Multiple disparate technologies to implement and manage • Exponential ManagementComplexity Web Server

  5. Industry Trends - Enterprises Resource Limitations 5-5.5% of IT budget designated for security Average of 1 full-time security employee/1,000 users Top Security Concerns: Protection of company/ private information Protection against financial losses Need for customer and supplier confidence Concerns around internal network/system security Use of Web services Shareholder confidence Increased Risk • 84% suffer operational or financial losses • Application level attacks highest consequences • Current security system shortcomings • Depth of protection • Management complexity Sources: Information Security, Does Size Matter survey, Sept 2002 Information Security, META Group, August 2003 Vanson Bourne, The Global IT Security Report, 2003

  6. Australia’s Position • Relaxed culture, plague of set and forget strategies that are not sufficient • Point products permeate • Complexity = complacency • Behind the 8-ball (especially the mid-tier) • Lag behind US, Europe, Asia Pac and NZ in management involvement • Opportunity For Change!

  7. Risks to Your Infrastructure PerimeterSecurity InternalSecurity WebSecurity (Web protection andaccess control) • Worms/viruses • LAN exposure • Access abuse • Unpatched systems • Expanding • perimeter • Sophisticated • attacks • Application-level • attacks • Increased Web • dependence • Secure access • Web server • exposure

  10. Architecture – What does it mean? • 1. The art or science of building (Webster) • 2. The way in which anything is physically constructed or designed (Cambridge) • 3. (Computing) The general specification and configuration of the internal design of computer or LAN (Allwords.com) • 4. (Vendors) Anything with our brand

  11. Architecture Not Devices Process Policy Publication + Review People Culture + Behaviour + Education Technology Deployment of multiple technologies + Integrate + Single Management + Scale (from the mobile phone PDA and Laptop)
