White Paper
Securing a Remote Workforce with a Zero-trust Strategy
The ESG white paper on securing a remote workforce emphasizes the need for a zero-trust security strategy. As remote work expands, traditional VPNs prove insufficient, leading to vulnerabilities like phishing, cyberattacks, and data breaches. A zero-trust approach assumes no implicit trust and continuously verifies user identity, devices, and access requests. Key strategies include secure digital workspaces, multi-factor authentication, endpoint security, and continuous monitoring. Organizations must transition from VPNs to cloud-delivered gateways and unify security policies to protect data, prevent threats, and support seamless remote work operations.
