17 Million Professionals. One Secure Gateway.
As Malaysia rolls out the new Work-From-Home policy this April 15, the mission is clear: reduce fuel subsidies without compromising national security. But for professionals, the shift from office desks to home networks creates a massive new attack surface for cyber threats.
Legacy VPNs weren’t built for this scale. They are slow, prone to bottlenecks, and provide “open door” access to internal networks.
