Re: What is on your roadmap?

["Flynn, Gary - flynngn" <flynngn () JMU EDU>]

1. Mobile device and access policy and management. This technology will be
as disruptive and hard to manage as the PC technology of the 80s. Security
is just one component of the planning necessary to provide acceptable
quality of service and risk. Though due to the rapid changes in the
environment, "vision" may have to substitute for "planning"Š as long as its
not "hallucination".
2. Cloud services can be thought of as outsourced data storage and services.
This has been managed in the past but not in nearly as open and self-service
type of environment as today's.
3. Due to the complexities involved with 1 & 2, increasing demands for
access, a continual lack of trustworthiness in vendor products and
technology, and increasing sophistication and motivation of criminals,
monitoring and early detection is going to need much more emphasis. Today's
concentration on prevention, the assumption of trustworthiness, and belief
that things can be "secured" will not meet the challenges of tomorrow.
Curmudgeonly yours,
gary
