The movement towards laptop computers has fueled an unprecedented number of data breaches. For IT and Information Security, encryption and training has proven ineffective against careless users and insider threats. This paper discusses these limitations and explains how endpoint security allows remote deletion of sensitive data, tracking of computers outside the network and the physical recovery of missing computers. Learn how you can ensure mobile data protection regardless of end-user interference.

The emerging service-oriented architecture is introducing better ways to integrate business processes, and business managers are demanding SOA-based applications. These demands for SOA must be balanced with other enterprise network initiatives such as data replication, VoIP and LAN extension. The WAN implications of these emerging applications are profound: exponential increases in traffic volume, more sensitivity to network latency, less-predictable traffic patterns and increasing difficulty in identifying high-priority traffic.
In such an environment, there is value in load balancing and prioritizing application flows. Application awareness and control belongs at the edge of the LAN, however, not in core network elements. Higher-layer functions best reside on servers and ancillary equipment that are tightly bound to supported applications.
In an on-demand IT world where the performance of critical applications is becoming increasingly more strategic, building application awareness into WANs is a fundamentally flawed approach. Consider these issues:
By contrast, an application-transparent network optimizes bandwidth and switches traffic at the lowest possible layer - leveraging new, flexible optical transport and Ethernet data-switching technologies. This enables the cost-effective creation of networks that provide maximum throughput, inherent security and the lowest latency for each application. Lower-layer, application-transparent networks are very reliable, don't drop packets and deliver a deterministic response. They are scalable and ideal for high-bandwidth, time-sensitive, mission-critical business processes.
