CTERA’s SaaS approach for file storage was another key An increasingly distributed workforce brings with it its own challenges of course, as Aron Brand of CTERA reminds us: “In the aftermath of Covid-19, traditional work models have shattered, leading to a workforce that is scattered across home offices and remote offices. Concurrently, we have also seen sophisticated malicious actors taking advantage of weakly secured edge locations. The new distributed topology of work makes traditional solutions, that rely on location to determine security posture, mostly irrelevant. That is why zero-trust architectures, based on the paranoid principle ‘never trust, always verify’ are to be absolutely essential in 2022 – expect to see big modernisation projects driven by this trend.”
