For many organizations, work looks very different today than it did just a few years ago.
More and more of their key applications – from Office 365 and Google Workspace to Slack and Zoom – are on the internet rather than in their private network. And employees are highly dispersed, in many cases spending more time working outside of the office than in it.
This creates new challenges for IT teams – and leaves legacy tools struggling to keep up.
A traditional secure web gateway (SWG) or firewall solution assumes all traffic, even from virtual private networks (VPNs), will be routed back to the office’s data center first. That’s not only impractical in the cloud era, but it can also be counterproductive from a security perspective. It causes latency that users won’t put up with and creates visibility gaps that infrastructure and operations professionals can’t allow.
