Secure Workspace for Businesses in the New Normal

A secure workspace solution is the foundational element required for modern organisations to ensure that their people remain productive while working from anywhere, on any device, without compromising on security. As the global landscape continues to evolve, the link between what people do and where they do it has been permanently severed.

The pandemic finally ended the already tenuous relationship between productivity and a fixed office desk. Today, your “workspace” is wherever you can carve out time and space to be effective. The dining room has truly become the new conference room, and this shift is unlikely to change. Organisations must adapt to this “new normal” where the office is no longer the sole anchor of corporate activity.

Going forward, many organisations will employ what Forrester describes as an “anywhere-plus-office hybrid” model. This shift means more people working outside the office more often. Even as the immediate crisis fades, remote work volumes are predicted to remain at least 300 per cent above pre-pandemic levels. With this change, the traditional concept of an office network perimeter—once the cornerstone of a secure environment—is officially dead.

However, we cannot afford to compromise on security. In fact, it is more important than ever as malicious actors attempt to exploit the complexities of hybrid environments. Ransomware attacks have seen a dramatic rise in both volume and severity. In Australia, the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) has noted significant jumps in attacks against local entities, making a robust secure workspace solution a non-negotiable requirement for business continuity.

Why a secure workspace solution matters

Rather than sacrificing security for the sake of remote productivity, organisations must redefine their security strategy to meet users where they are. This demands thinking far beyond the physical office walls. To succeed, businesses must transform their IT infrastructure with a platform that can easily manage and secure all endpoints regardless of their location.

Security must migrate to the edge. This requires a holistic, multi-level security approach where identity and device posture take precedence over geographic location. Orro’s secure workspace solution offers a unified platform from which to launch and engage all necessary applications, tailored specifically to the unique needs of your organisation. It aligns with your business objectives to provide staff with the technology, support, and security needed to remain productive anytime, on any device.

The Secure Workspace Hub is designed for versatility, operating seamlessly across Windows, macOS, Chrome OS, and mobile operating systems like iOS and Android. It can also be accessed directly via a secure browser. By implementing granular access policies, organisations can ensure that sensitive company information remains protected, restricting application use based on verified security criteria.

Enhanced Security with SSO and MFA

To further bolster your defences, Single Sign-On (SSO) and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) can be configured across all applications. This ensures that access to sensitive data requires additional verification steps, providing a superior user experience while maintaining strict compliance. This secure workspace solution delivers a flexible digital environment without sacrificing performance or safety.

Furthermore, as a cloud-based offering, Orro’s platform allows organisations to transition from heavy CAPEX investments to more predictable and manageable OPEX models. This provides the agility required to scale operations quickly as your business grows. Features such as low-touch provisioning for new devices and continuous data backup ensure that your workforce can recover rapidly from any potential disaster or technical failure.

The workplace has changed forever, and our approach to technology must reflect that. By ensuring productivity and security work in tandem through a modern secure workspace solution, your business can remain resilient, agile, and secure in an increasingly digital world. Orro is committed to providing the platform and expertise necessary to power your business into this new era of flexible work.
