Modern Workplaces Demand A New Meaning For 'Site' In Network Security
Security Boulevard, Monday, February 23rd, 2026
For a long time, the concept of a 'site' in networking and security was synonymous with a physical office
This included:
- a headquarters building
- a branch office
- a campus connected to the corporate network
This traditional model was built on several assumptions:
- employees primarily worked from offices
- security measures were enforced at the boundaries of the network
- policies could reliably depend on the origin of network traffic
However, these assumptions no longer reflect the reality of modern work environments.
