Call it cloud computing, call it pervasive outsourcing and work-from-anywhere; the fact is that your infrastructure has changed.

But the assumptions behind security products and protocols are stuck in the days when “on the network” meant “in the physical building.” That’s why Tanium and others are calling out the naked security emperor in full-page Wall Street Journal ads.

CTBG lingers long past its expiration date Catch
The
Bad
Guys

Obsolete CTBG assumptions linger in the design of security products and protocols. CTBG assumes that it’s possible to determine the intentions and character of the sender of a stream of bits.

Isn’t that like asking your building’s lobby receptionist to determine the intentions and character of everyone who walks through the door? Would that work?

Of course not. Instead, you tell the receptionist to ask the visitor for some form of identity credential, then issue a visitor badge. REAL security is about environments of accountability; it’s not about catching bad guys.

ABE will bring REAL security to your infrastructure Accountability
Based
Environments

These days, your network is replacing your buildings. A widely dispersed collection of people with whom you never rub shoulders are in there, looking at files and installing software.

You need to know with a reliable measure of certainty just who those people are.

It’s time for ABE (Accountability-Based Environments). ABE ensures every network interaction is secure and accountable. It’s not just about spotting threats; it’s about knowing exactly who’s accessing your data and why.

Let ID4Cloud introduce you to solutions based on ABE assumptions to secure your cloud and ensure every user is authorized and accountable.
