As hybrid workforces establish themselves as the new standard, organizations face significant cybersecurity and networking challenges to secure users working remotely from home, coffee shops, or new branch offices. Hybrid work environments depend on seamless and secured connections to corporate private applications, sanctioned and non-sanctioned SaaS apps, and the web at large. Security and connectivity are crucial, whether employees are working on-site or remotely. High-performance, dynamic content delivery has become essential, to provide users with a reliable, secure, and consistent experience everywhere.
However, as companies extend protections to cover remote work and expansive cloud environments, the traditional reliance on VPN tunneling or the addition of isolated solutions to support remote connections, has created challenges in performance, user experience, and operational complexity, leading to a fragmented environment between on-premises and off-premises security and networking measures. Organizations need a unified approach to secure their hybrid workforce effectively and consistently while ensuring operational simplicity and performance.
