Description

The remote access domain opens applications and resources to remote users. Doing so has the potential for exposing an organization’s internal environment to more threats. Because this domain commonly connects remote users to your environment using an untrusted WAN, you must ensure the controls protect your internal resources. Selecting, deploying, and managing the right security controls can provide efficient and secure access across an untrusted WAN. To help with that challenge, an organization should consider emerging alternatives that would help their businesses enable more cost-effective but safe remote access. In this week’s discussion, elaborate upon an emerging alternative that an organization could implement. In response to your peers, be sure to build upon their ideas while also discussing an improvement or alternative to them.
