With people working from home and connected to business applications running in the cloud, the notion of an office building representing the company network has vanished overnight.

If that's the case, why would it matter whether that laptop is being connected to video conferencing in the company's conference room or a video conference being held from home? There is no more of a guarantee that the laptop in the company conference room is connected to the company's network than the one connected at home.

The laptop in the company conference room is just as likely to be connected to the neighbor's wireless network making it remote when in fact the user is physically in the office.

The laptop itself is the new network perimeter, not the traditional office buildings that once defined them.

Much like the physical office once defined the network, physical network security appliances defined the network cybersecurity strategy.
