Empowering Enterprises with Innovative Solutions for Zero Trust Security

In a groundbreaking collaboration, Symantec, a division of Broadcom, and Google Cloud are joining forces to revolutionize the landscape of secure remote work with their Pure SaaS Zero Trust Service. Tackling the challenges faced by large organizations implementing a zero-trust policy, this partnership introduces customer-focused innovations aimed at simplifying the deployment, management, and maintenance of secure access to private applications and corporate resources.

Navigating the Zero Trust Landscape


Implementing a zero-trust policy often involves significant upfront investments to ensure infrastructure readiness. However, as organizations deploy Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) services, they encounter new challenges related to service and compliance, leading to additional costs. Symantec and Google Cloud are addressing this predicament head-on by delivering solutions that alleviate the complexities associated with provisioning new users and managing intricate connectivity methods.

Solving Infrastructure Complications


This collaboration extends Symantec’s partnership with Google Cloud to include seamless integration with Google’s Cross-Cloud Network solution. By leveraging this integration, organizations can streamline the deployment of secure access solutions, eliminating the complexities and reducing compliance headaches. This is especially beneficial for enterprises managing multiple hosting environments, such as company data centers, co-location sites, and private cloud hosting.

Muninder Sambi, VP/GM, of Google Cloud Networking, emphasizes the significance of this collaboration, stating, “Google Cloud is simplifying complex networks by providing Cross-Cloud Network, an open, secure, and optimized network platform to accelerate building, delivering, and securing applications and remote user access across hybrid and multi-clouds.”

Accelerating Remote User Access


Symantec's collaboration with Google Cloud is set to accelerate the onboarding of remote user access to applications and cloud resources in Google Cloud, other clouds, and on-premises. Leveraging Symantec Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), this initiative transforms the ZTNA solution into a pure SaaS service. The goal is to cater to the increasing number of enterprises adopting Google’s global network to connect remote users and applications.

Benefits of Google Cloud's Planet-Scale Network


Google Cloud’s planet-scale network plays a pivotal role in simplifying network complexity, enhancing user experience, and controlling costs. Muninder Sambi affirms, “We are excited to partner with Symantec to help enterprises secure access for a hybrid workforce everywhere throughout Google Cloud’s planet-scale network with a presence in over 200 countries and territories.

In essence, Symantec and Google Cloud's collaborative efforts are reshaping the delivery of Zero Trust solutions. With a focus on customer needs and infrastructure simplicity, enterprises can now embrace a secure, remote work environment without shouldering the burdens of complex connectors. This joint initiative marks a significant step towards a future where Zero Trust security is seamlessly integrated into the fabric of SaaS services, ultimately providing a more efficient and secure approach to remote work.
