Global expansion, rapidly expanding mobile workforces and cloud computing are shifting the location of applications, data, and users. These changes introduce new opportunities for businesses, but they also increase cybersecurity risks. The dissolution of the security perimeter makes it harder to protect users and data with traditional security solutions. These legacy remote access solutions were not designed with the cloud in mind, creating complexity, manual administrative effort, and incomplete protection. With remote working environments becoming the new norm, it is now essential to consider a transformative approach to cybersecurity.
A cloud-delivered, managed security service with a trusted partner helps customers address the complexities of today’s threat landscape. Through a managed security partner, changing business needs are supported with scalable and elastic technology, consistent best-in-class security, and dedicated expertise to continuously assess and improve security posture.
