It will be no surprise to hear that the world has suddenly developed an interest in remote working. For organisations, this has traditionally meant accessing systems via a Remote Access VPN. The rapidly increased volume of people logging on has brought a great strain on remote access points meaning alternatives to this bottleneck are being sought. One solution is to use the open Internet to access systems directly, as an App. 

This requires the security and availability to be managed by the App rather than the access controls provided by Network Access. Whilst this may mean a redesign of the applications and instigation of Zero Trust capability, there are other considerations that ought to be taken into account.  

In this podcast, Lynne Magennis talks to Martin Atkinson of Equinix, the global interconnection and data centre company, about the issues that organisations may like to consider in utilising the internet for their business applications.
