The Covid-19 pandemic has compelled organizations to allow large sections of the workforce to work from home. A majority of enterprises have deployed a VPN to provide remote access and ensure business continuity. However, traditional VPNs were never designed for today's highly distributed and hybrid IT environments and could expose enterprise applications and sensitive data on the corporate network to malware, ransomware, and other cyberattacks. Learn how Block Armour's #ZeroTrust security solution with integrated 2-factor authentication mitigates the risk of unauthorized access, prevents malware propagation and enables secure and compliant remote access for employees working from home due to Covid-19.

The Challenge: Legacy tools
like VPNs are simply unable
to address, the secure remote
access needs of enterprises
in today’s day and age
Aug 2020, a hacker published a list of usernames and
passwords, along with IP addresses for more than 900
enterprise servers belonging to a VPN provider
According to a report from vpnMentor earlier in 2020,
seven VPN providers in total leaked 1.2TB of personal user
data
In 2019, a leading VPN provider confirmed it was hacked
after one of the data centres where they rented servers
from was compromised
The rapid adoption of Cloud technology and employees working from home
due to Covid-19 has resulted in highly distributed and hybrid IT ecosystems

Modern approaches like Zero Trust are swiftly becoming the preferred security
paradigm for today's contemporary digital enterprise
Authenticate not just
the user but also the
device
Grant precise
network/application
access
Single trust level for
access from within and
outside the perimeter
According to Gartner by 2022, 80% of new digital business applications will be accessed through zero trust network access
(ZTNA), and 60% of enterprises will phase out their remote access virtual private networks (VPN) in favor of ZTNA
Logging and monitoring

continuous visibility
Micro-segmentation to
secure access & prevent
lateral movement
