Zeus Kerravala discusses the challenges posed by hybrid work, particularly the need for secure connectivity for remote employees. He emphasizes the dilemma faced by IT leaders between providing unrestricted access to SaaS applications or protecting data via VPNs. Many organizations are now moving towards a Zero Trust model for improved security, which reflects a significant shift from traditional networking practices. This new approach, sometimes called café-like branch architecture, aims to enhance user experience while maintaining strong security measures for remote workforces.
Although caffeine and connectivity are easily available from public places, it's a real Sophie's Choice for IT and security leaders: Allow users direct access to the internet with no security controls, or route traffic to a remote data center using a VPN.
Many organizations have adopted a Zero Trust model for branches, factories, and other remote sites to overcome the security and user experience tradeoffs of a remote workforce.
