Today’s hybrid workforce of both remote and in-office employees is the new normal as the world adapts to the COVID-19 pandemic. IT security teams are struggling to support this new global digital workforce that needs reliable, secure, and fast access to the Internet. Cyber attackers are also taking advantage of this new normal, so how do organizations prevent growing threats from web and email vectors? Traditional security strategies of routing Internet traffic through a VPN increase latency, slow performance, and disrupt the user experience. The solution that avoids these problems is to bypass the VPN by using cloud-delivered isolation, enabling organizations to provide their global workforce with completely secure access to the Internet. Menlo’s new ebook, Securing the Future of Work, discusses how organizations can deliver consistent security services to this new digital workforce through isolation in the cloud.

5G standalone (SA) operation, using a new core network, is foundational to mobile operators seeking to offer advanced 5G services with a low cost of production. Over the next two to three years, operators in all global regions will design, deploy, and scale 5G core networks on software-defined infrastructure. By April 2021, eight operators had already launched SA, according to the Global Mobile Suppliers Association (GSA), and a further 36 have firm plans to launch in the near term. There is now a good supply of devices that support SA mode, including the iPhone 12 after the latest iOS update.

The world is becoming increasingly connected with advancements in wireless technology. Now in its fifth generation, 5G brings unprecedented speed, reliability, and responsiveness. As 5G wireless technology is further developed and brought to mainstream markets, it will catalyze a paradigm shift for how we connect with our devices, information, and one another. Verizon partnered with Gensler to explore how 5G will transform the way people work. We started by evaluating the critical capabilities and limitations of 5G. An analysis of 5G disruptions in tangential industries yielded five key emerging trends. Finally, by applying these trends to the workplace, we distilled specific implications that are most likely to shape the future of work.
