The Problem with Remote Access Tool Sprawl

The phenomenon of remote access tool sprawl is a byproduct of connectivity of once air-gapped systems and network segments, and the urgency to converge OT and IT security management. In this report, you’ll learn:

• The scale of remote access tool sprawl inside some companies and the startling percentage of those with anywhere between four and 16 separate tools running simultaneously

• How many organizations are deploying enterprise-grade secure remote access, and those others instead relying on VPNs and other remote maintenance tools common in IT environments

• The operational burden and risky exposures created by these excessive deployments, including a lack of centralized management, and poor policy enforcement.
