Tom Gillis

 

Securing the Borderless Network reveals New techniques for securing advanced Web 2.0, virtualization, mobility, and collaborative applications

 

Today’s new Web 2.0, virtualization, mobility, telepresence, and collaborative applications offer immense potential for enhancing productivity and competitive advantage. However, they also introduce daunting new security issues, many of which are already being exploited by cybercriminals. Securing the Borderless Network is the first book entirely focused on helping senior IT decision-makers understand, manage, and mitigate the security risks of these new collaborative technologies.

 

Cisco® security technology expert Tom Gillis brings together systematic, timely decision-making and technical guidance for companies of all sizes: information and techniques for protecting collaborative systems without compromising their business benefits. You’ll walk through multiple scenarios and case studies, from Cisco Webex® conferencing to social networking to cloud computing. For each scenario, the author identifies key security risks and presents proven best-practice responses, both technical and nontechnical.

 

Securing the Borderless Network reviews the latest Cisco technology solutions for managing identity and securing networks, content, endpoints, and applications. The book concludes by discussing the evolution toward "Web 3.0" applications and the Cisco security vision for the borderless enterprise, providing you with a complete security overview for this quickly evolving network paradigm.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid intoduction to Web 2.0, Cloud Computing and Security challenges posed by them, April 25, 2010
This review is from: Securing the Borderless Network: Security for the Web 2.0 World (Paperback)
This book is an entertaining and fun read and any technology enthusiast should read it. I was able to read this book in two nights and enjoyed it like I was reading Dan Brown's Angels and Demons. The author Tom Gillis clearly explains new challenges faced by IT Security Managers due to Web 2.0, Cloud Computing and mobile workforce. The author clearly explains why Web 2.0 and Cloud Computing are Enterprise management's biggest fear and clearly expose IT's inflexibility. Web 2.0 gives rise to Work 2.0 and whether IT departments like it or not, this trend is here to stay. Today employees work anytime from anywhere using any device and need connectivity 24x7x365 which increases their productivity and job satisfaction. But this trend is major headache for C-Level enterprise executives and IT Security managers as they don't know how to secure this information flow when communication may not even touch their networks like Salesforce hosting your company's CRM and employee access this data using his iPhone. Traditional network boundaries are blurring and it is becoming very difficult to protect data whether it is in motion or rest. Tom also explains Next Generation Firewalls that will not do filtering based on port, protocol and IP but instead will be Content, Application and User Identity aware. How about writing a firewall policy saying "John Doe" from "Engineering" department can access "[...]" and cannot exceed "2 Mbps"instead of IP address x.x.x.x/32 can access y.y.y.y/32 on port 80. I think you got the point :-)

The problem statement is clearly defined with many excellent examples and interview excerpts from real enterprises. Last few chapters are fully focused on highlighting solutions for Web 2.0 security challenges and I have to admit, Cisco vision is neat and they are focusing on both On-Prem and Cloud based security solutions. The author didn't go into implementation or design details but ideas like Flexible Identity Fabric and multilayer scanning engines are pretty encouraging. The concept of Policy Management consoles (where enforcement and Policy management functions are decoupled) along with Security Intelligence Operations (SIO) are good initiatives by Cisco.

Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this book and in my opinion the content is very well organized, timely and fresh. Tom Gillis is very knowledgeable and he certainly delivered a book that will benefit many IT managers,executives and staff members.

4.0 out of 5 stars Review for the non techie., August 11, 2010
By TimH "Timpala" (Lexington, KY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Securing the Borderless Network: Security for the Web 2.0 World (Paperback)
Securing the Borderless Network by Tom Gillis is more of a history lesson than anything else. It's kind of interesting for someone that lived through these events to see a different perspective. The term Web 2.0 is used heavily in various contexts and, I suppose, is as accurate in its use as anyone else. It seems everyone and their dog (whether you know they're a dog or not) has a different take on just what Web 2.0 means to the consumers and creators of information.

As of the book's publication Mr. Gillis is VP and GM of the Security Technology Business Unit at cisco so much of the book is from the cisco viewpoint. That's not necessarily a bad thing, just be prepared as you may get the impression that only cisco is involved in making the world's information and its access safe for mankind. This is a relatively small book at a little over 130 pages and a pretty quick read. I recommend it as something to leave on the table in the Executive Lounge a few weeks before you have to present why you actually need to spend some money on information security solutions.

Overall, a good quick read and a fast education for the C-level world.
