Pitfalls to avoid.

Working from home, hybrid working, SaaS, cloud migration, secure remote access, ransomware, phishing attacks, social engineering, credential theft, BYOD – the list goes on and on. Securing remote workers has never been so complex or fraught with risk. But the old methods of securing remote workers are no longer fit for purpose. VPNs are notoriously insecure and don’t scale. Backhauling Internet traffic to a secure data center increases latency and can impact performance. Blacklisting shuts off entire sections of the dynamic Internet, preventing users from getting work done.
