The Challenge of Appliance-Based Network Security Network security was simpler in the past: there was a clear perimeter (or perimeters for multi-site companies) with networks, users, and applications firmly inside organizations. This can be achieved in two ways:: Establishing a VPN connection to traffic from each location using an appliance.
