And that was even before the pandemic. But with so many remote workers, IoT devices, and multiple clouds, it’s hard to balance keeping everyone productive while keeping the network secure.
According to Forrester, 53% of newly remote workers want to stay remote. So, the hybrid workplace is here to stay. But with remote work accelerating the move to cloud, how do you ensure the network’s security extends from edge-to-cloud?
With more devices being connected to the network – some beyond IT’s control – how can you get away from manually generating VLANs that create confusion and introduce risk?
With attacks getting more sophisticated, your security needs to be best-of-breed. How do you adopt cloud-based-security services as part of you overall Zero Trust/SASE framework without being locked into a single vendor?
It’s important to use a network that has full visibility, control, and enforcement with a built-in foundation for Zero Trust and SASE (secure access secure edge) frameworks.
Zero Trust ensures that the same controls applied to campus or branch networks, also apply to the home or remote worker. That means no more manually generated VLANs that are confusing and risky. And real-time identity-based access control consistently protects the network from edge-to-cloud.
As more applications move to the cloud, organizations need to think about extending their current security architecture into the cloud without redoing what they currently have (and increasing risk). It’s best to pair network-enforced, identity-based access control and tight integration with leading cloud security providers like Zscaler, Netskope, Check Point, Palo Alto Networks, and others.
The Ponemon Institute surveyed 1,826 security and networking practitioners globally and found that 71% would select a best-in-breed vendor when deploying both SD-WAN and cloud-delivered security for a SASE architecture. Meaning, respondents do not want to be locked into a single vendor. Read the rest of their findings about the future of networking and security.

Know what’s on your network and then ensure that the same controls applied to campus or branch networks, also extend to the home or remote worker.
