The security of a company’s network becomes the most important element in protecting business confidential data and information. There are many ways that companies can secure corporate networks such as using a firewall when accessing the internet on a company’s LAN network and using a VPN. However, this situation seemed to be difficult if applied it. If we look at the current situation, the company is no longer fully working from a 100% office but rather doing work remotely, working from home (WFH).
After the covid-19 pandemic, the company implemented a policy to work from home (WFH). This is certainly very good to be able to maintain the continuity of a company’s business, in conditions that require us to limit activities outside the home. However, on the other hand, this policy turns out to have a serious impact and should be a concern that companies need to pay attention to related to cyber security.
If we can imagine during WFO (Work From Home), employees will access the internet through a firewall first before accessing or surfing the internet while when WFH (Work From Home) employees will directly access the internet without any additional layers that mandate access. This will be very dangerous because security when accessing data through local access compared to accessing the internet directly will not have the same level of security. This still allows malware, ransomware and hackers to target our company’s data.
Then, how can we continue to maintain employee productivity when implementing work form home without inflame the security?
One technology that should be of particular concern to secure network security is to use ZTNA (Zero Trust Network Acces) technology. This technology is a term that describes circumstances that never allow access. It works by enacting detailed, adaptive, and context-conscious policies to provide secure and seamless Zero Trust access to private applications hosted across the cloud and enterprise data centers, from multiple locations including remotely. That context can be a combination of user identity, user or service location, time, service type, and device security posture.
In the assessment of user identity, device identity, and other contextual factors, ZTNA allows “least privileged” access to a particular application, and not the entire underlying network to any user with a valid login key. So that its security will be much safer when accessed using ZTNA. One of the ZTNA technologies that can be implemented in your company is to use Safous from IIJ.
