Zero trust in the remote working era
Today’s enterprises are challenged by an environment composed of more users, devices and network connections than ever before. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced organisations to rapidly accommodate a mass shift to remote working, rolling out VPNs and other remote working tools in record time. Whilst working practises become more flexible, the attack surface becomes more diverse and security professionals need to rethink the concept of identity and expand their zero trust initiatives. As with end-user devices, print manufacturers and ISV partners need to ensure that their products can adapt to a zero trust model as well. Find out more in our latest briefing.
