Situation Overview

We have all been through many changes in our daily lives due to unprecedented events in the past year. And it doesn't just stop there. We've seen the workforce become more and more distributed and organizations are struggling to provide their users with an exceptional digital experience as they moved from campus to a secure work from home.  Now, as companies prepare for a safe return to the office, what is clear are workers demanding the flexibility to work from anywhere, anytime, on any device both seamlessly and securely.

Check out Dimensional Research's findings from a recent survey below:

Multicloud is critical for business resiliency

Working remotely is here to stay.  While this offers flexibility for workers, it creates challenges for Netops and security teams.  Working on any device from any location often means forcing everything behind one security perimeter, this is no longer an option.

The pandemic has accelerated multicloud adoption as the strategy to enable business resiliency to deliver an always-on agile networking platform.

So how do network and security teams ensure they can manage risk, remain compliant all while enabling a productive workforce?
