• “ Cloud Security : In today ’ s modern workplace , the use of cloud-based business applications has become increasingly prevalent . However , it is essential to ensure the security of these cloud-based applications to prevent any potential security breaches . Traditionally , businesses have resorted to backhauling the remote worker traffic through corporate networks to inspect and enforce policies . Nonetheless , this method has been found to be inefficient , leading to a negative impact on the network ’ s performance and user experience . Therefore , there is a pressing need for an alternative approach to cloud security that can effectively ensure the safety of business applications without compromising network efficiency or user experience .
• “ Secure Site Access : Remote access to company sites can expose organisations to a range of security threats , and traditional methods of securing access to these sites through backhauling remote workers to corporate data centres can result in slow network performance and bad user experience . As a result , businesses must explore alternative ways of securing access to company sites for remote workers that not only provide the necessary security protections but also maintain the efficiency of the company ’ s website .
• “ Advanced Threat Protection : In today ’ s increasingly digital world , companies often utilise advanced threat protection such as next-generation firewalls ( NGFWs ) and other similar solutions to safeguard their network perimeters .
It is imperative for organisations to adopt comprehensive advanced threat protection solutions that provide robust security coverage for remote workers as well as on-premises systems to help combat cyber threats .”
