Configuring Access

In our ever-connected world, the traditional perimeter concept no longer exists. Before cloud computing, the traditional perimeter (also known as network perimeter) was unambiguously defined to denote the physical boundary that separates the location of your data (typically stored in an organization’s premises) from the outside world. With cloud computing, the perimeter has transformed into an elastic concept. This is because in today’s world access to data is required to be ubiquitous. Think about it: data could be needed from an office, from home, from a hospital, while traveling, from anywhere, even from space!
