With the surge in remote working and widespread adoption of Software as a Service (SaaS) platforms, security needs to be re-architected to better address modern-day threats. Apps and users have shifted from on-premises appliances to the cloud, and security infrastructure needs to adapt accordingly to keep pace.

We believe the report validates customer migration from on-premises to the cloud and security functions’ convergence into a SWG platform architecture.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has been on the front lines of the Covid-19 pandemic, working with other federal departments to coordinate national policy and responses to address the public health crisis. However, just as in enterprises around the world, HHS has had to deal with shelter-in-place orders and work-from-home policies that have scattered users out from behind the data security perimeter to home offices.

As we now accept the new norm, combating malicious cyberthreats comes down to two things: visibility and control. If you can monitor traffic flowing to and from users’ devices and control how that traffic behaves and is secured, a malicious actor would be hard pressed to infiltrate your network and do harm.
