CISOs and CIOs of large enterprises face a continuous battle to provide robust data security without hindering the strategic objectives of the enterprise. The demise of the "moat-and-castle" approach to security, and the continued disintermediation of the traditional network perimeter have applied additional pressure on IT organizations seeking to protect servers, endpoints and business-critical data within the corporate network.

This paper will examine the challenges of using network firewalls and VLANs for security within the corporate network and introduce the many advantages of cross-platform server isolation as an alternative in protecting servers, endpoints and business-critical data within large enterprises.
