Rob stresses how complicated the system was to build from scratch and emphasizes that with BeyondCorp Remote Access, companies don’t have to build a whole new system.īeyondCorp Remote Access offers automatic scaling and world-wide points of presence for a fast user experience anywhere in the world. Codifying your employees’ needs and preferences, detailing the levels of trust you’ll allow, and thinking ahead about where in the world your employees will be when they access the system are some of their tips.

With this information, if a user accidentally exposes the system to malware, for example, access can be revoked quickly. In addition to the thorough authentication process, BeyondCorp continues to monitor device metadata during use as part of the system’s decision to continue to trust (or not trust) a user. Users are authenticated per session and per device to give access only to the specific person, on the specific device, for the specific job each time. BeyondCorp is Google’s answer to allowing employees to use company networks on any device while outside the building in a way that is both secure and efficient.
