Hybrid work is now a reality, requiring companies to choose and adapt how they provide consistent and secure access to their workforce. With more employees working from home, in branch offices and also at headquarters, the traditional approach to network security no longer works in providing consistent policies. 

Read the Gartner^® “Top Network Practices to Support Hybrid Work” report to get valuable guidance for cloud and edge infrastructure and operations leaders as they continue to adapt and support a hybrid work environment. 

According to Gartner, "I&O leaders supporting cloud and edge infrastructure users should:

• Reinforce operations by adopting minimum connectivity standards for home and corporate office scenarios.
• Optimize availability, security and performance for home office workers by enabling dual tunneling with secure web gateway (SWG) protection and layer on backup and network optimization options.
• Improve visibility and user experience for home office workers via products such as lightweight SD-WAN appliances that provide additional traffic prioritization and enterprise-grade security.
• Bolster network security by evolving toward Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) principles.”

As you continue to support a hybrid work environment, make sure you follow these best practices from Gartner with this complimentary report.
