The perimeter has disappeared. Employees work from anywhere in the world and their devices access corporate data from cloud services outside of traditional security perimeters.

The phone, however, presents new and exciting ways for companies to protect their accounts, which means the phone is also become a critical part of the hacker “kill chain.”

With adoption of Windows 10 in the enterprise, PC security architectures look like mobile security architectures.

The future of cybersecurity includes a major change to enterprise network perimeters. They are going to be reshaped into something new — micro-perimeters. This is the act of cordoning-off entire sections of systems in order to avoid major compromise when only one segment of the architecture is weak.
