The roadmap for wireless network authentication in WPA and 802.11i: The result of weeks of research, my InfoWorld article on 802.1x/EAP, EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, and PEAP will hopefully distill a lot of confusing acronyms into a clear path for how we get from disparate solutions today to a single secure method in the future of logging wireless users onto a corporate network without a VPN.

Largely to improve current earnings, companies are now taking an ax to IT spending. A few of them, however, view the reduction of IT costs as an opportunity to tidy up their act. Rather than deciding what IT they can or can't live without today?continuing to manage IT as they always have while merely managing less of it?they are changing their business activities and IT processes to eliminate the deeper-rooted causes of IT spending.
The take-away
Companies can do more than just lower their costs if they attack the deeper causes of soaring IT expenditures by streamlining the tangle of uncoordinated systems that many of them installed during the heady late 1990s. Where possible, they should coordinate their IT systems so that these systems no longer support only one channel or portfolio as well as consolidate their database-management and other infrastructure technologies, redraw their IT architectures, and exploit new outsourcing opportunities. |
