Now here is an interesting concept that (if it could be made to work) could transform the way we build corporate networks.
So today when we build out networks we have the corporate network surrounded by firewalls with the internet on the outside and us on the inside. We then have gateways so that users can get out to the internet and VPN solutions so that our mobile users out on the internet can get back into the corporate network.
But here is where it gets clever.
If we could make the devices on the network secure and able to authenticate themselves properly, why not remove the firewalls and let the internet become our LAN or our LAN become the internet?
