You no longer enter a network — you access only the necessary resource — ERP, CRM, supplier portal — if, at that moment, identity, device, location, and risk all comply with the rules.
The session becomes a continuous control — when the context changes, so do the permissions. This reduces the potential damage of any compromise: the entire infrastructure isn’t exposed, only the requested application is enabled.
Why and what really changes
For those working every day, the experience becomes straightforward: you turn on the PC and find what you need; the relevant applications open and access automatically adapts to the context, with no profiles to select and no VPN to activate.
For the company, order shifts to where it matters — identity and resources — with consistent policies that follow each person wherever they work. The result is a smaller attack surface, incidents that remain contained, and faster investigations because identity, device, and traffic converge into a single telemetry stream. The numbers add up too: fewer overlapping clients mean fewer tickets and faster onboarding; performance improves as Microsoft 365 traffic goes directly to the cloud in a controlled way, while truly internal resources travel through a dedicated secure connection, avoiding bottlenecks.
Where an agent isn’t possible — OT environments, printers, certain branches — branch connectivity maintains policy consistency without reopening flat networks. For management, all this translates into operational continuity and execution speed: fewer interruptions, clear indicators of risk and performance, and security that supports growth instead of slowing it down.
Modern work, modern rules
Work is no longer a place — it’s a network of people, devices, and applications moving daily between office, home, and travel. In this scenario, the idea of “entering the network” no longer holds; what’s needed is secure enablement of only what’s truly necessary, when it’s needed. Global Secure Access is the technical answer to this need for modernity: it makes access a continuous, identity-based process that keeps pace with the business without slowing it down.
This is where our Managed Workplace service comes into play: an operational model that combines the adoption of Global Secure Access with centralized device management, policy definition, continuous monitoring, and reporting. In practice, it means less complexity for employees, more consistency for IT, and a level of security that grows with the company — not against it. This is how the workplace truly becomes modern: simple for users, manageable for IT, and sustainable for the business.
