Video Highlights

  • The techniques and approaches organizations used to secure home offices and a few branch locations are not scaling to the massive demands of remote work. 
  • To secure remote work environments, organizations need to look at the individuals connecting to corporate resources and the apps and data they are trying to access. 
  • A zero-trust security approach can provide granular control to different apps and data, and can authenticate individual users once certain conditions are verified.
