Deploying extranets?
David T. Morgan · Network Security · 2004
Extranets are fast becoming common in the corporate world where they take many forms. But the initial implementation or secure maintenance of an extranet connection is rife with pitfalls. Understanding just how to let a non-trusted source gain access to your company's critical information in a controlled and secure manner is the crux. David Morgan at NGS reviews extranet deployment types and compares the security and cost of each. He compares bilateral, overlay and shared extranet connections. More and more companies are using public networks to set up private trusted trading communities. Unless the securities are managed properly, that's like playing Russian Roulette with a machinegun.
