A User-Centric Security Approach for the Dynamic Enterprise

Security solutions must be tied to both high-level corporate goals and to everyday end-user realities as a result of the potential for increased risk to enterprise assets. One recent and promising approach to reducing the risk associated with fast-evolving end-user realities is to reinforce security closer to enterprise end users. In practice, that means reinforcing security at the points where end users connect to the corporate network and reinforcing security for mobile users’ communications.

This paper describes how a user-centric approach to security can help enterprises manage the risk to their corporate assets and minimize end-user involvement and frustration in order to increase productivity and optimize technology investments.
