Ubiquitous Business - Connected Anywhere; Secured Anywhere

Connectivity today is fragmented; there is near-ubiquitous connectivity with ��Always on" communication technologies to support ubiquitous business opportunities. On one hand, converged networks are the natural communications platform to support a range of business applications. On the other hand, converged networks face a variety of threats, with each converged service having its own unique vulnerabilities.
