FortiSASE and Enterprise Link 2.0: A powerful alliance

Let’s discuss some of the latest market trends:

• Hybrid workforce is considered to be the new normal.

“The 2022 Gartner Digital Worker Survey found that 77% of digital workers want to be a part of planning their hybrid work schedule”.

• Web is a top attack vector.

“Web continues to be one of the top attack vector. 2022 Verizon Data Breach Report indicates 90% of breaches use web applications”, 2022 Verizon Data Breach Report.

• The aging of VPN deployments.

“VPN deployments must move away from implicit access to improve security posture”, Gartner, Remote Access Options for Enterprise Endpoint, April 2022.

• Growing shadow IT presence.

“91% of organizations report that biggest surprises to cloud adoption are Lack of visibility and not enough having control”, 2022 Cloud Security Report, Cybersecurity insiders.

The increasing demand for remote work has brought about several changes in the business landscape. This includes a shift in workforce structure, with data centers transitioning to cloud-based solutions and a rise in SaaS applications. These changes highlight the need for companies to implement strategies that facilitate unified access to cloud applications and other private applications. Additionally, remote users are at risk when operating outside the company’s network, as many of them fail to use VPN when connecting to the internet. This lack of protection creates a significant security risk, as it results in limited visibility over accessed content. Unprotected internet access is a primary vulnerability, making users susceptible to intruders, malware, spam, and other cyber threats.
