As a result of the diverse threats and vulnerabilities enterprises face, IT managers will need to
. .
deploy solutions that serve each security objective on every platform in order to form a complete
. .
. .
security solution. For example, if a device does not have robust local authentication measures,
. .
parties may use this station as a launching pad for attacks on local network services that trust the
. .
. .
identity of individual devices. Similarly, a client that trusts the identity of networked services is
. .
vulnerable to attacks from the network. Some solutions, however, can protect different platform
. .
. .
levels, depending on how they are implemented. For example, smartcards can act as an
. .
identification and authentication solution for a device or as a tool that signs a digital certificate that
. .
. .
identifies a user across an external network.
. .
. .
Enterprises can use these terms to understand and clarify the purpose and usefulness of various
. .
. . security solutions. A view of the security marketplace using these classifications is shown in Figure
