People work anywhere and everywhere now, from co-working spaces and coffee shops to airport lobbies, using connected devices and cloud apps to reimagine and redefine their workdays. It’s great for productivity and efficiency — but it’s stretching network security to the breaking point, creating gaps and vulnerabilities as employees move further away from the traditional “office.” With 79% of organizations embracing direct internet access (DIA) and SaaS adoption increasing to 60% in the next two years2, organizations are realizing that the old approach works for the way we used to work, not for today’s new network. Security professionals need an easier, more reliable way to improve visibility and security for distributed environments and users, both on and off-network.
Hackers are paying attention, and they’re matching today’s technology innovations with maddening creativity of their own. They’ve graduated from attacks designed to steal data to extortion hacks that instead lock people out of their data unless a ransom is paid. They manipulate files and sabotage software and appliances in order to affect stock value or deface websites. They exploit zero-day vulnerabilities, intercept split-second online credit card transactions and hack connected devices ranging from security cameras to smart watches, skateboards and even cars.
