Google LLC said today that its BeyondCorp Enterprise framework is now generally available to all enterprises that want to enjoy the benefits of the “zero-trust” security model.
BeyondCorp Enterprise is a security framework that involves shifting access controls from the perimeter to individual devices and users, thereby enabling employees to work securely from any location without the need for a traditional virtual private network.
With BeyondCorp Enterprise, access control is no longer based on whether users are requesting that access from inside or outside of the corporate network. Instead, under the zero-trust model, it’s assumed that users requesting access from inside the network are just as untrustworthy as those seeking remote access, so access requests are instead granted based on details about the particular users, their jobs and the security status of the device they’re using.
