Indeed, it seems that things come full circle. Virtualization and cloud computing resemble remarkably what mainframe computing was doing. The virtualization approach certainly has its challenges, but it is getting better. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

That’s probably true, but it’s not far removed from arguing that PC’s would be a lot more secure if we just used 3270 terminal applications for everything instead of those pesky local apps.

Stoica Wed, 02 Nov 2011 16:17:39 +0000 http://blogs.cisco.com/?p=49796#comment-376056 It seems completely logical to shift the security policies from being location based to identity based. I am amazed that so many enterprises have relied entirely on IP addresses when securing access, this tells nothing about the identity of the person or the application that request this access. There are companies that are still providing unrestricted access to their network resources when someone is inside the network. This is also known as candy-bar security, hard on the outside (as protected by an external firewall or other security appliance) and soft on the inside, i.e. once you are inside the perimeter there is no protection at all. I hope that SecureX architecture will be a wake-up call to many IT professionals.
