Now my boss wants to limit certain areas/pages of the wiki to
specified users.
Is there an easy way to do this?
That is not supported by MediaWiki.
Third-party hacks may not be secure; if you actually require this sort
of read limitation for any real reason you should install software which
supports that kind of security from the ground up.

To second this, that's one of the areas where Twiki and a few of the other
alternatives win out in some commercial deployments.
It would be nice to add it to MediaWiki at some point, as the MW software
and user experience are far superior to Twiki and the other alternatives,
but I believe we've established that it's not something useful for the
WikiMedia Foundation projects and therefore a really low priority (which may
never be gotten to).
