The Enterprise has extended into the home

Permanent work from home means a new wave of cybersecurity challenges

• The enterprise has extended to the home. Highly sensitive corporate work is taking place at home, introducing a new generation of cybersecurity challenges for employers.
• Most corporate-issued devices beyond the laptop cannot be configured with agents or VPN and, therefore, are not secured adequately.
• Lack of network isolation in the home exposes corporate devices to attacks from potentially compromised devices on the home network.
• Employees’ use of personal devices for occasional work activities and their use of personal email and social media accounts increases the risk of attacks on the enterprise.
• Attackers can more easily watch employee behavior at home, and those with elevated credentials are at high risk of cyberattack, putting sensitive company data and applications at risk.

Legacy solutions are inadequate

• Securing and managing all of those work-from-home setups as branch extensions of the enterprise requires a new approach.
• Endpoint security solutions are necessary but not sufficient to secure multiple corporate-issued devices.
• Employees with elevated credentials are not protected with a second layer of security, as they would be on campus, i.e., no defense-in-depth.
• Personal devices are unprotected yet increasingly used by employees and actively targeted by attackers as a path to the enterprise.
• Solutions designed for traditional branch offices are complex, costly, and inefficient for deployment across thousands of employee homes
• Legacy security solutions are complex, costly, and inefficient to be deployed in volume to the home offices of thousands of employees.
