Is anyone aware of a suitable forum in which to discuss future goal state 'models' for a new security architecture? It seems that it is time to take a fresh look, to define a goal state and, to help enterprises address their legacy security issues with a radically new architecture that will afford them agility, competitivity and, survivability. It seems to me that there are significant opportunities in the year 2001, with a major convergence underway: as the intranet and extranet converge, public and private networks converge and, the concept of inside and outside start to disappear. The new distributed "mainframe" model with subsystems. I also see a convergence of the architecture of the enterprise with that of the service provider, as enterprises Internet-enable themselves with enterprise portals and, service providers take on those enterprise management elements. A plug-and-play community. What is necessary is the adoption of a distributed, modular and, flexible architecture that supports an underlying general-purpose infrastructure, a substrate leveraging directory and security as a common authentication and authorization model -- that facilitates rapid deployment, both hosted and outsourced in support of new and emerging business opportunities, changes, acquisitions, etc. Executives are looking for answers, it is time for thought leaders to take a fresh look. It is time for security to be the "enabler" and not a reactive "fix". --- Nigel P.
