THE CHALLENGE
High demand for flexibility and simplicity in the work environment is disrupting the way enterprises operate, leading to increased SaaS adoption and a shift to distributed work and BYOD. As the number of devices connecting to company resources grows, new security risks emerge and the attack surface expands- ultimately playing into the hands of attackers.
Yet, security leaders are finding it challenging to protect their company assets in this distributed work environment using existing cyber security solutions such as corporate firewalls and VPN. Not only are existing solutions ill-equipped to protect assets that are mostly hosted on SaaS platforms and applications but attempting to apply them to address this new breed of security threats is costly and complicated.www.talon-sec.comAs a result, security leaders are forced to choose between flexibility and security, both of which are crucial for business continuity and growth.
