The nature of work has changed. Employees expect to work securely from anywhere, on any device, and they put a high premium on work that enriches and fulfills them. When their productivity tools enhance the quality and effectiveness of their work experience, they’re happier, more valuable, and more likely to stay.
As more companies allow users to work outside the office, the opportunity for delivering applications through cloud services becomes more plausible as maintaining application workloads within a local datacenter becomes costly, less agile, and less effective over time. The ability to deliver applications and data to users securely becomes a challenge to any organization with workers in remote locations needing to collaborate with others
Why Secure Remote Work is Important?

This increases the overall productivity of the entire workforce and benefits the organization. Providing flexibility through remote work has also been known to increase retention, with organizations that offer remote work arrangements reporting reductions in employee turnover up to a 12%. Employees who are no longer commuting or travelling allow the organization to save money on expenses.
