Edgenet 2006 – The Protection Problem in Enterprise Networks

  • Martin Casado | Stanford Uninversity

Attempts to retrofit access controls into enterprise networks have met with varied success. Often doing so has a deleterious effect, resulting in complex, brittle networks that are engineered around choke-points. In this talk, I will discuss what protection properties are desired by enterprise environments today, how existing solutions that try to approximate them fall short, and how those solutions often have negative, unintended consequences.
