Changes in networking and computing technology will affect security architectures in the future. Consider, for example, how to construct a firewall that will accommodate gigabit-per-second data streams. Only the fastest computers will even be able to receive data at such rates, but if some of your users have such machines, and need that type of bandwidth, you will need an architecture or a policy that can keep up with them.
Predictor: Bellovin, Steven M.
Prediction, in context:In their 1994 book “Firewalls and Internet Security,” Steven Bellovin and William Cheswick write: ”In a totally different vein, changes in networking and computing technology will affect security architectures in the future. Consider, for example, how to construct a firewall that will accommodate gigabit-per-second data streams. Only the fastest computers will even be able to receive data at such rates, but if some of your users have such machines, and need that type of bandwidth, you will need an architecture or a policy that can keep up with them.”
