The corporate network perimeter is not what is used to be.
A decade ago, companies focused on securing the perimeter, making sure that the inside of the network remained a safe, trusted environment, while attempting to create a digital wall to keep out the Internet vandals.

In addition, with employees bringing in mobile devices and nomadic employees working from a variety of unsecured locations outside the corporate network, the definition of the perimeter has changed.
