Secure networks
“ The key to securing any environment is a definite understanding of where the data is – at rest or in transit – and the level of protection required .” Griffin continues , emphasising the need for simplicity for both the user environment and administrative management of all systems and services . This in turn must be complemented with efficient processes linked to the overall security framework . The design challenge to Evros will always be focused on the delivery of a heavily secured yet user-friendly experience .
“ The combination of physical and logical separation across the virtual environment will deliver the Defence Forces the required level of security ,” explains Griffin . “ It is about minimising the organisational security risk with the balance of usability . The future of application delivery , security and change management must be efficient and straightforward . Service delivery will improve from the ground up
as we change the network .”
Technology is constantly evolving , and anybody in Griffin ’ s position must remain aware of emerging digital fluctuations . Griffin believes that all appropriate technologies , including the cloud , should be considered . “ The technology or process of today will become the multiplying enabler tomorrow . The need for continual forward progression must be a given .
“ We have to always know where our data is ,” Griffin concludes , “ and for any organisation , if you know where all the data is and that it ’ s secured to the right level , you ’ re in a good place .” 48 September 2016
