uture work environments will no longer
tether employees to their desks, offices,
or even devices. Rather, they will unify
all cloud-based and physical resources that
people need to do their jobs and do so in a
more secure and contextual manner than
anything available today.
In the past, you began your day on a
physical device that was dedicated just to
you. Your data, applications and login were
all contained in a single space. But now,
the centre of work is shifting away from
the device to the cloud. Indeed, many of
your frequently used applications (and even
productivity tools) are now cloud-based
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) apps. But as
SaaS application offerings help to quickly
address these new needs, you suddenly find
yourself with multiple logins, data sources
and security risks that are growing at a
dangerously rapid rate. As a result, enterprise
IT is even more concerned over reduced
control, insight and governance over the
SaaS apps that employees are using, the
state of sensitive data in those apps and the
way to integrate those SaaS apps into the
fabric of the company.
As workers continue to consume more cloud
services, enterprise IT is evolving towards
a secure digital workspace platform. This
will give IT administrators a streamlined
insight into and governance over how
SaaS, web and even local apps are secured
and presented to users, providing a new
way for employees to begin their day,
securely accessing those apps in a more
personalised manner. n
