What is the Borderless Enterprise?
• The Borderless Enterprise
• IT no longer controls 100% of infrastructure and services
• The cloud flipped enterprise architecture
Many critical applications reside in the cloud
Many cloud services accessed via the public Internet
• Mobility has blurred control over remote access
• Line of business managers and users adopt technology without IT
involvement
This is known as “Shadow IT”
Cloud services, mobile devices and consumer applications require IT to:
Discover these technologies
Create and enforce new usage policies
Optimize IT infrastructure, security controls and management tools
