VPN no longer up to date?
VPN is no longer up to date

When companies were forced to transition to remote work during the pandemic, they needed a quick solution that gave their employees secure access to work resources. For many, this solution came in the form of VPN (Virtual Private Network), but these were not originally designed for the use of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) and cloud apps. Lookout, a provider of endpoint and cloud security, now sees the end of VPNs. While VPNs can provide remote access, it may come as a surprise that they fall short when it comes to security.

SASE: Secure Access Service Edge
SASE: Secure Access Service Edge

As corporate networks grow, so do security requirements. It is no longer enough to set up security barriers in the central data center. The solution is called SASE. Instead, organizations must secure all external endpoints in their IT landscape. This includes devices used by employees in the home office, but also workstations in branches or cloud applications. The solution for providing security features where they should be effective - i.e. at the edge - is called SASE (Secure Access Service Edge). SASE combines the functions of a decentralized network with security services from the cloud and is virtually a must…

SASE solutions to combat staff shortages in IT

The German IT sector suffers from a shortage of personnel and is chronically understaffed. According to Bitkom, there was a shortage of around 137.000 IT specialists in Germany last year - the highest level of a deficit that has persisted for years. On average, an open position remained vacant for over seven months with employers and, due to demographic change, more IT staff are leaving the labor market for retirement than newly trained experts are joining. At a global level, things aren't looking rosy either: According to cybersecurityventures.com, the number of unfilled IT security positions will rise to 2023 million in 3,5. The consequences:…
