Architecting a secure enterprise data sharing environment to the edge

This paper analyzes secure data sharing outside the security domain. There is a high demand for accessing multiple levels of sensitive data at the edge; however the threat at that location is higher compared to the core enterprise environment. This paper investigates the requirements, technologies and risk mitigation techniques for securely sharing information with the tactical user while protecting the data and the information systems from intruders and malware. The new Enterprise Architecture needs to eliminate the stovepipe architectures and open the doors to share information across traditional and non-traditional domain boundaries.
