Google has made available BeyondCorp Remote Access, a cloud-based, zero trust service that allows employees, contractors and partners to securely access specific corporate resources from untrusted networks without having to use the company's VPN. The goal is to help companies with a suddenly massive remote workforce from overburdening the company's VPN infrastructure.

BeyondCorp Remote Access is a subscription-based service that is available through Google Cloud.

"This cloud solution - based on the zero trust approach we've used internally for almost a decade - lets your employees and extended workforce access internal web apps from virtually any device, anywhere, without a traditional remote-access VPN," Google Cloud honchos Sunil Potti and Sampath Srinivas explained.

The web apps that can be accessed through the service can be hosted on Google Cloud, on other clouds, or on the customer's premises.

Enterprise admins can configure access policies for each app.
