A hybrid workforce is challenging for most organizations. Adding to the difficulty is the number of applications and services steadily moving to the cloud for greater efficiency, cost savings, and elasticity.
The evolution of how business operates today has created issues for cybersecurity teams. A recent survey reveals that 73% of security and business leaders feel their organizations are more exposed to risk due to remote work.1
These growing problems are often the result of outdated or insufficient security that was never designed to address today’s challenges.
For example, many businesses discovered in the first weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic that their traditional virtual private networks (VPNs) were not an ideal connectivity strategy for their sudden increase in WFA users. VPNs were never intended to operate at scale, ultimately creating security problems.2
Protecting rapidly evolving hybrid work environments calls for robust, purpose-built security such as a SASE solution strategy.
New requirements associated with expanding attack surfaces are driving demand for emerging technologies that identify and help prioritize threat exposures across internal and external environments.3
