Introduction

As business systems of large companies are increasingly dependent on the network, the importance of its security is becoming ever more significant. The main dimensions of security are confidentiality, integrity and availability, all of which are important in modern corporate networks. It can even be said, that the lack of security is the main obstacle preventing the full utilization of the possibilities provided by the Internet, intranet and extranet.

The HUT Network Security Seminar in the Fall of 1997 focused on Security of Enterprise Networks.
