“A good friend of mine is a CIO for a very large organization and he shared a great story. Obviously, during the pandemic, everyone was working remotely and they set up this whole Zero Trust principle and policy set to better secure their remote workers. It was interesting, he said, when everyone started coming back into the office, we realized we had better security when everyone was remote because of the changes that we made. So, we wanted to apply those same principles to our internal network and then we realized, can we just get rid of our internal network, our corporate network?”
