In the early days of computing, leading engineers thought that 640K of computer memory ought to be enough for anyone. And not long ago, most employees worked at corporate offices, accessing all of their apps and data from the corporate datacenter. Teams of network and security professionals worked diligently to secure office environments from the threats that lurked outside their walls, deploying a wide range of multi-vendor, on-premise appliances, including web proxy appliances, to provide employees with internet access and security.
Fast forward to today and we see significant numbers of employees frequently working from anywhere but their corporate offices. At the same time, the datacenter is no longer the center of the universe, dethroned by the massive adoption of cloud infrastructure, cloud applications, and other cloud services. Employees now access a variety of work applications that reside both in the cloud as well as the on-premises datacenter from anywhere--including their home offices, coffee shops, parks, and more--via a combination of employer-provided and personal devices. So what does the new world of working from everywhere mean for on-premises datacenter secured with legacy, on-premises web proxy appliances? And how does this traditional architecture impact remote worker access and productivity?
Research shows that this paradigm poses significant challenges for security professionals, including:
