COVID-19, VPNs, and Zero Trust: The Future of Secure Remote Access

This event qualifies for 1 CPEs

Join Google Cloud and Carahsoft for an upcoming webinar. To address the COVID-19 pandemic, government agencies surged their reliance on VPNs to enable the massive shift to remote work. But, security, cost, and performance concerns will make it doubtful that VPNs should remain the technical linchpin of secure remote work. At the same time, with the growing cyber risk environment, the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Defense have signaled the criticality of zero trust for better cybersecurity, complementing prior guidance from NIST, and new guidance from the National Security Agency.

The turn towards zero trust and move away from VPNs aligns with Google’s own experience, over the past decade, implementing the world’s largest zero trust environment for itself, which enables every Google employee to work from untrusted networks without the use of a VPN. This experience has formed the intellectual and technical basis for the cybersecurity capabilities built into Google Cloud products, including the new BeyondCorp Enterprise product offering.

During this session, you will learn:

How to rethink your use of VPNs and shift to a more modern approach to remote access
How you can apply government guidance on zero trust to your own efforts
How Google can help government organizations accelerate their adoption of zero trust
How BeyondCorp Enterprise can help reduce cyber risk, reduce IT cost and management complexity, and provide a better user experience
