We live in a world that is making a transformational leap into uncharted territory out of necessity. The
pandemic has challenged us both at home and at work. We now live and work differently than a couple
of years ago. What was called the “new normal” has become the “now normal”: the hybrid workspace,
with users working alternatively from home and on campus. This rapid change is still in progress and
challenges networking and information security teams in many novel ways. This article focuses at a high
level on some of the problems and solutions derived from the need to secure remote access to enterprise
resources, the sprawl of IoT, the growth of shadow IT, and the acceleration of the migration to cloud
infrastructure.
