Abstract

Focus on the resources and employees, not on networks and environments. The usage of firewalls, VPNs, intrusion detection, and other networking components have been the backbone of managing access to important resources. But trends towards decentralization and abstraction has made infrastructure increasingly fluid and enforcement slippery.

The collective shock the world took when all employees abruptly became their own remote office became a tipping point, forcing companies to reconsider how they would remain protected. Doing so provides an opportunity to dig up old roots, prune best practices, and transplant core principles. This whitepaper will highlight modern-day infrastructure challenges, introduce recommended best practices, and apply them to the familiar SSH protocol for greater safety.
