Google's Plan To Kill the Corporate Network

Posted by Soulskill on from the your-corporate-laptop-is-being-replaced-with-an-abacus dept.

mask.of.sanity writes "Google has revealed details on its Beyond Corp project to scrap the notion of a corporate network and move to a zero-trust model. The company perhaps unsurprisingly considers the traditional notion of perimeter defense and its respective gadgetry as a dead duck, and has moved to authenticate and authorize its 42,000 staff so they can access Google HQ from anywhere (video). Google also revealed it was perhaps the biggest Apple shop in the world, with 43,000 devices deployed and staff only allowed to use Windows with a supporting business case."

    My dog eats its own poop.

    Not a ringing endorsement for the dog food metaphor.

    Because even the smartest dogs are quite stupid by human standards.

    Sadly, missing the nuance of the English language a nuisance as well.

    But it's not a bad idea, it's just dumb to rely solely on it.

    I can just imagine the military "Fuck the perimeter, if the enemy gets inside the base it's going to be all knives and hand to hand combat anyway. Sell the guns boys, we're all getting HUGE KNIVES!"
