At TransformITy, everything we do around security revolves around protecting organizations from Castle to Cottage to Carriage.

 

In the past, organizations approached security by protecting their internal network - their "Castle" - using firewalls, intrusion detection system, and other gateway security technologies. As time went on, they needed to extend those sorts of protection to remote workers - working in their "Cottages" - using remote desktop technologies and VPNs.

 

Today, however, security means protecting a truly mobile workforce. That means organizations now need to protect "Carriages."

 

Protecting Carriages requires a new way of thinking. Organizations need policies and systems that protect users and data no matter what device is being used and no matter where that device is on the Internet. Each device and its data—like a carriage on the road—must be both autonomous and secured.
