Today's workforce is increasingly nomadic. Employees use personal and company-owned devices desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones with various operating systems to access corporate resources over different networks from virtually anywhere. Roaming users and cloud-based applications have eroded the network perimeter where enterprises have traditionally focused their security controls.
In the wake of this disruption, vendors offered myriad point products that solve only a portion of the security problem. These products usually require costly custom integrations and high management overhead to boot. Making matters worse, traditional security approaches can't address an evolving threat landscape that includes ransomware, stealthy attacks that dwell in a customer's environment for months, and threats targeting iOS and Android devices. In fact, the mobile workforce is more vulnerable than ever before.
