Zero trust helps protect shift to remote work
A new report from Akamai looks at the technology shifts and usage patterns of 2020 noting a 30 percent jump in internet traffic thanks to COVID-19 lockdowns.
It also highlights criminals taking advantage worldwide, targeting all business sectors and industries, including information technology and security.
However, Akamai's layered defenses were able to adapt to a remote work environment. Zero trust enabled the company's remote workers to do their jobs from anywhere while remaining protected.

"Defending enterprise systems is a challenge at the best of times," said Robert Blumofe, chief technology officer at Akamai. "Doing so in the middle of a pandemic only adds to these complexities and challenges. Akamai was able to transition to, and defend, a 99 percent remote workforce, because we've long viewed all access as remote access. We built our environment with the necessary capabilities, including leveraging Zero Trust concepts and robust, layered defenses."
