Deja Vu

1
Deja Vu

• 10 years since my first NetEvents debate about .
  . . Security
• The topics being talked about at NetEvents sounds
  pretty much the same to me
• VOIP IP Telephony
• Fiber to every home (used to be fiber to the
  desktop)
• Convergence

2
Security is still a big issue

• After years of work, theory, talk and practice
• With millions being invested by end-users in
  security products every year

3
Lack of Convergence

• No real integration / convergence between the
  network people and the security guys
• Securing your infrastructure today is a difficult
  trapeze-act with
• Several different vendors and products
• All kinds of different boxes
• Impossible administration and reporting
• It all ends in no or minimum security

4
Convergence makes sense

• In theory
• In business
• From a performance point of view
• For the customer

5
But...

• Will it happen ?
