Embrace security without borders You learned a hard lesson over the last year. Your assets lost most of their defenses once they left your perimeter. You could no longer: Patch, update or harden your applications and operating systems. Measure and manage the asset-based risk within your environment. In short: You learned that perimeter-based security fails in remote environments. And now â as you plan your return-to-work â you must decide what to do with this lesson. You can ignore it and continue to rely on your perimeter (despite its limitations). Or you can take this lesson to heart and find a new way to defend your assets.
