De-perimeterized Architecture - Featured ISSA Journal Article

In the August issue of the ISSA Journal, Ido Dubrawsky, of the ISSA Baltimore Chapter, addresses the difficulties posed by current network capabilities, protocols, applications and business needs that have resulted in redefining the network perimeter and describes the evolution to a perimeter less network architecture.

For some time now the accepted design concept for any given network architecture has been the defense-in-depth model where multiple layers of filtering, monitoring, and analysis technologies seek to identify malicious behavior and activity. Early white papers like the original Cisco SAFE series provided conceptual models whereby the network was subdivided into multiple blocks separated through network choke points utilizing firewalls and routers. This design provided for restrictions to be placed at critical junctions where network traffic can be limited to specific protocols and direction flows. In essence the firewalls played the role of policemen, separating the network topology into "trusted" and "untrusted" zones.

Call for Whitepapers

In order to be responsive to emerging threats, technological advancements, and influences within information security, one must tap into the experience and expertise of the professional community. ISSA is soliciting whitepaper submissions by information security professionals that look to inform and educate peers and professionals regarding issues and trends in the industry. Articles are reviewed on the basis of relevance (suitability for readership), timeliness (how in sync content is within an ever changing industry), utility (how directly useful it is), credibility (citations and scholarly awareness), and innovation (how uncommon the topic is).

Evaluation

  • leans toward practical insights rather than general perspectives
  • is a non-commercial article focused on the informational needs of the reader rather than the benefits of the author's products or services
  • carefully cites sources, resources and exhibits knowledge of the work of industry innovators and experts
  • encompasses subject matter that piques the curiosity of ISSA members/readers
  • caters to an international audience
  • includes diagrams and Illustrations

Whitepapers are expected to be 2-6 pages in length. Please include the following:
  • Project Description (including use cases)
  • Relevant or Related Projects
  • Major Technical Considerations
  • People and Organizations (either potential participants or experts that could be consulted for more information)
