A number of business issues are accelerating the adoption of
secure
remote access solutions:
• Demand for more flexibility in the workplace
• Employees need to be untethered from the physical office to stay
productive as
they balance
the demands of work
and home. As the boundaries between the two become less defined, employees increasingly need
safe and secure
access to business resources from outside the corporate network.
• Balance protection of sensitive data with user
flexibility
• In the age of mobility, protecting corporate data and resources becomes
even
more
challenging. The remote
devices used to access them not only vary in form factor and operating system, but are often
employees’ personal
devices, outside the control of IT. This is why organizations should secure sensitive
information behind the
hardened barrier of a corporate network, rather than extend the network to these devices
through a VPN.
