ABSTRACT
The rapid adoption of the extranet will change how a business looks at its security practices, as the old paradigm of a hard outer security shell for a business LAN environment has now been disassembled or breached with a hole to support the need for extranets. In many cases, the age-old firewall will remain in place, but it will have to be modified to allow this “hole” for the extranet to enable access to some degree to internal resources that have now been deemed part of the extranet.
