OVERVIEW

The user computing environment has changed considerably over the
last decade because of the increased mobility of users. Mobility poses
many security-related challenges (anonymous connections, “always on”
connections, cleartext network traffic, wireless networks, and so
on), many or most of which are typically not adequately addressed,
even though proven solutions are widely available.
