The Importance of Secure Remote Access in Today's Mobile Workforce
In a mobile-centric work environment, the need for secure remote access is paramount. With users working from various locations, seamless access to websites, SaaS apps, and private applications is essential. To ensure both productivity and security, organizations must move away from traditional network-centric solutions and adopt simpler, safer zero trust connectivity methods.
The Significance of Zero Trust Architecture for Secure Digital Transformation
Traditional firewall and VPN architectures, while common, are not ideal for a secure digital transformation. They connect users to the network, even remote workers accessing cloud apps, leading to reduced productivity and increased risks of lateral threat movement. Zscaler's Client Connector resolves this issue by acting as a lightweight agent that encrypts and forwards user traffic to the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange. This exchange, the world's largest inline security cloud, securely connects users directly to applications, enhancing security and performance.
