More organizations than ever rely on VPNs<\/a>, especially in the lingering wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Virtual private networks (VPNs) allow remote employees to become a safe extension of their organization\u2019s network while still granting the same benefits of security and connectivity.<\/p>\n

But security experts believe VPNs leave organizations vulnerable to malicious threat actors and cyberattacks; improperly configured VPNs can give users unrestricted access to the corporate network.<\/p>\n

To defend against potential vulnerabilities, organizations are adopting alternative remote access methods such as zero-trust network access (ZTNA) to establish hybrid workplace network security. To that end, let\u2019s dive into some of the most effective best practices for hybrid workplace security.<\/p>\n

Adopt zero-trust network security models<\/h3>\n

A zero-trust model is one of the most popular integrated approaches to security, and with good reason. These models separately authenticate access requests and sessions to prevent authentications from moving forward with sessions or users to additional requests. Zero-trust security frameworks impose network-wide device and user authentications, treating access requests identically, whether made inside or outside a network.<\/p>\n

Rather than divide devices and users into two camps – typically \u201coutside the perimeter\u201d and \u201cinside the perimeter\u201d – an integrated approach to security, like a zero-trust framework, doesn\u2019t automatically grant access to resources for inside users and devices. Unsurprisingly, the adoption of zero-trust models has been rising since the COVID pandemic began. As of 2021, more than 40%<\/a> of respondents to a Statista survey said they were beginning to adopt zero-trust strategies.<\/p>\n

Cultivate an identity-centric architecture<\/h3>\n

At the heart of a ZTNA security framework is identity. Zero-trust models grant designated users access to resources depending on identity, meaning strict identity management is essential to securing access to network resources.<\/p>\n

Typical remote access security models rely on secure perimeters and force outside users to access corporate networks through an encrypted tunnel (usually a VPN). But conventional VPNs only provide encrypted connectivity; they do not identify the user. Without user authentication, the network doesn\u2019t know who\u2019s connected and can\u2019t control the user\u2019s access to resources.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s where an identity-centric architecture comes in: rather than base a user\u2019s access to resources on their ability to log into a VPN, identity-centric architecture bases resource access on\u2014you guessed it\u2014the user\u2019s identity. Fortunately, Unified Threat Management (UTM) Firewalls<\/a>, such as the ones from Allied Telesis, integrate VPN connectivity with multi-factor authentication (MFA) for strong identity-based access control.<\/p>\n

Cultivating an identity-centric architecture that prioritizes a zero-trust approach is more important than ever, especially considering that more than one-third of data breaches<\/a> result from internal users. The bottom line: An identity-centric architecture can prevent external threat actors from sneaking into networks and moving unnoticed while they compromise sensitive data.<\/p>\n

Place a greater focus on endpoint security<\/h3>\n

Any enterprise cybersecurity program worth its salt includes a strategy for endpoint security. As ZTNA models gain popularity, it\u2019s more important than ever to properly secure a network\u2019s endpoints. In addition, once you\u2019ve adopted an identity-based architecture whose users are authenticating themselves, you\u2019ll need a way to address potentially compromised user devices and systems.<\/p>\n

A good place to start is by acknowledging endpoint diversity. From tablets and laptops to smartphones and wearable devices, endpoint diversity is as diverse as ever. Therefore, we recommend using endpoint security solutions that offer data loss prevention, endpoint & email encryption, endpoint detection and response, and privileged user control. The Self-Defending Network<\/a> offers powerful protection from threats and is an ideal way to automate endpoint protection in large networks.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll then want to implement multi-factor authentication and account for endpoint-based data loss prevention (DLP). MFA can go a long way toward protecting your network\u2019s entry points from unauthorized access, and an endpoint-based DLP can safeguard the growing number of data assets stored on endpoints.<\/p>\n

Strengthen your collaboration security<\/h3>\n

Finally, it\u2019s worth your time to beef up your hybrid workplace\u2019s collaboration security. In response to the pandemic, collaboration applications have become commonplace as organizations accommodate more employees working from home. But as more companies adopt these collaboration tools, the security challenges associated with them become more apparent.<\/p>\n

Consider some of the most popular collaboration apps like Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom: it can be tempting to assume that these tools are inherently secure, but that\u2019s not always the case. Security is not built-in into these tools, and an absence of security integration can lead to a fragmented security policy\u2014in other words, a policy that\u2019s not completely zero-trust.<\/p>\n

Fragmented policies may have rules that apply to some collaboration apps but not others, which can cause security vulnerabilities. When enacting collaboration security, it is also important to supplement the cybersecurity protections of collaboration apps that are often inherently insufficient. If you\u2019re establishing network security for a hybrid workplace, don\u2019t forget to consider the different collaboration security platforms and tools within your organization. Vista Manager<\/a> offers a centralized view of your network\u2019s security policy and can ensure that all VPN gateways have the same settings for a consistent security posture across the organization.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
