With a newly dispersed workforce, IT teams have seen their security perimeters vanish overnight. A network-centric approach fails to deliver the productive and collaborative experience your users need while providing secure access to business-critical apps like Teams, Zoom, and others.
The way forward requires a new approach to connectivity.
As work-from-anywhere progresses from a temporary necessity to modern reality, enterprises will need to be able to support multiple use cases:
Securing remote user access (VPN alternative)
Use a cloud-delivered solution to replace VPN technology and its scalability issues while minimizing complexity and improving security by keeping users off the network
Accessing remote collaboration apps
Remote collaboration requires fast, direct access to apps like Zoom and Microsoft O365; backhauling traffic to the data center impacts performance and hinders collaboration
Accessing from BYOD devices
Many employees use their own devices, and this access must be just as secure as it is when they connect with corporate-managed devices
Monitoring user experience
Speed and performance are critical to the productivity of remote workers, and IT teams must be able to monitor and resolve device and network issues
Seven key technology requirements for work-from-anywhere
Enabling work-from-anywhere isn’t a one-and-done job—it takes the whole IT organization. Security and networking teams must come together to build a plan for moving forward in a way that serves business needs. Hear what the experts have to say.
