ABSTRACT

The enterprises' network and network security architectures are unable to effectively serve the dynamic secure access requirements of digital business. The enterprise data center is no longer the center of access requirements for users and devices. Organizations demand immediate, uninterrupted access for their users, no matter where they are located. Digital business transformation efforts, the adoption of Software as a Service (SaaS), employees working from home (especially following the COVID-19 pandemic), and emerging edge computing platforms have changed the way enterprises work. Digital business transformation requires anywhere, anytime access to applications and services-many of which are located in the cloud.

The enterprise perimeter can now be everywhere-a dynamically created, policy-based secure access service edge. Enterprises want to protect their assets from unauthorized entities, but they also want to keep business continuity by allowing trusted devices and users to access applications hosted on premises or in the cloud. To achieve this, one of the most important security layers is the secure remote access. This paper presents the cloud security standards, with emphasis on secure remote access.
