The enterprise network today no longer sits within four secure walls. Employees today demand access to enterprise resources and their work via more mediums than ever before - by personal laptop from home networks, by tablets, and by smartphones. Mobility is a real game-changer, and enterprise networks need to grant access to this mobile workforce to keep workers productive. However, the shadow of security threats, data breaches, and the subsequent effects on the company still looms large. At the same time, IT professionals are being tasked with supporting these enterprise mobility initiatives on tighter budgets and under the watchful eye of government, regulatory, and other compliance requirements. These requirements demand visibility into network access and tighter controls. Security point solutions are often distributed and deployed in larger numbers across the entire enterprise network - from wired to wireless to remote access.
