The new digital era is already well underway, and businesses of all sizes are adopting new technology to survive and thrive ahead of their competition. The recent technological advances have had a dramatic impact on the way the world operates, revolutionizing some aspects of business processes that haven’t been changed in decades. This rings most true for the way businesses communicate, as the traditional public switched telephone network (PSTN) is used across the U.S., and the world now sees its days numbered thanks to the rapid growth of alternative technology.

Applications moving to the cloud and increased user mobility are changing the way networking and network security services can be delivered. The future of network security is in the cloud, and with the rapid growth of edge computing and remote workforce enablement, legacy ConnX AI SD-WANs are no longer enough.

The Covid-19 pandemic accelerated all things digital, including e-commerce, automation, and most notably remote work, as known as work from home (WFH). Pre-pandemic, only roughly 2 percent of the U.S. workforce was working remotely, but by May 2020, that number had risen to close to 70 percent. Even now, nearly two years removed from the start of the quarantine, 16 percent of companies in the world are 100 percent remote, with 85 percent of managers believing that having teams with remote workers has become the new norm.

When Gartner introduced SASE in 2019 (Secure Access Service Edge), the world had not yet experienced a global pandemic that has been underway for more than two years. However, Gartner did understand at the time of their first publication that remote working was still in its infancy, in part because all the elements required to build, secure, manage and extend a true SASE solution were still in development.

The data is in, and without question, businesses from small to medium and large, including globally distributed massive enterprises, areadopting work from home – and work from anywhere – policies, which has a profound effect on their IT infrastructure.
