Security News > 2020 > September > The Network Perimeter: This Time, It’s Personal

In a way, the corporate network perimeter has extended to the home - and that is not a good thing.

Some organizations are deploying small firewalls directly into the homes of their "Super users" to create a secure enclave, protecting an organization's critical data from the home network.

Organizations are placing a significant emphasis on the concept of zero-trust network access.

There are two reasons: first, they are using many VPN tunnels that need to understand and confirm who the users are; and second, they have users on many different types of devices that now have access to the corporate network.

Finally, there is a recognition of the need for more tightly integrated network and security functions, and the need to properly secure dynamic multi-cloud environments.
