As we were catapulted into a new way of hybrid working during the Pandemic, working from home has become the norm for many teams. The realization that we can work from anywhere has fueled mass changes in how organizations work outside of the traditional office setting.
But everything comes with a price, right?
These changes have allowed businesses to continue and survive during the harsh conditions of the past few years, but now there are additional issues we need to consider and protect ourselves against.
According to redcentric some of the major security risks and concerns we need to be aware of in regards to remote working is GDPR compliance, the opportunity for Phishing emails, weak passwords, unsecured home devices and unencrypted file sharing. These new threats create new IT challenges within any newly hybrid organization.
Sounds incredibly bleak, doesn’t it?
Applications and processes had to move to the cloud incredibly quickly to allow businesses to fight rather than fall during the impact of having to remain at home during the prolonged periods of Lockdown. Due to this many IT architectures started to struggle as they still consist of outdated and legacy “castle and moat” on-prem, appliance-based solutions that protect the perimeter instead of the applications, data and services your new hybrid team need.
So how do we protect hybrid environments?
We let the boss step in…
The iboss Zero Trust Edge secures applications, data and services making them inaccessible to attackers while allowing trusted users to securely and directly connect to protected resources from anywhere. A containerized architecture built for infinite scalability securing those that work on-premises and off-premises as they work from home.
Imagine consolidating network technologies (SWG, CASB, DLP, IPS, malware defense, browser isolation, firewall) into a single unified cloud platform that also eliminates the need for a VPN while securing a device, regardless of location, that is iboss.
We are facing unprecedented challenges due to the rapid shift to cloud resources and mobile workers. There is a need for increased visibility and a focus on implementing Zero Trust using best practices. We need to be more reactive and proactive in terms of preventing breaches and data loss too, alongside protecting an organization from the looking security threats we have always had to deal with and watch out for.
So, what is the solution?
Your data and applications are in the cloud, so it makes sense your security is too! A business that will survive the future of organizational change and can weather whatever happens next requires security built upon a robust Zero Trust architecture. Iboss allows organizations to protect their resources by putting a Zero Trust service in front of them which allows only approved users to access them.
This has huge benefits as it ensures consistent visibility and protection for all those apps, data and services. Those resources are made private except for those that fulfil the requirements linked to access.
It isn’t all doom and gloom, iboss has got you covered.
