The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many organizations to adapt to a new reality where much of their staff have to work from home. All users are treated as external users and are subject to the same identity and security checks before being granted access to resources. With BeyondCorp and zero-trust access in general, there is no network perimeter.

With a lot of IT infrastructure moving to the cloud and enterprises having to accommodate outside contractors in addition to their own remote employees, having security policies tied to a strictly defined network perimeter has become increasingly hard. The company calls its approach BeyondCorp, and it is centered around the idea of access to applications and services being granted based on user and device identity and security posture regardless of their location in respect to the traditional corporate network perimeter.

Google has been an early adopter of zero trust network architecture for its own corporate network, a process that started a decade ago and has been documented over the years in a series of papers and blog posts. Called BeyondCorp Remote Access, the subscription-based service will be part of Google Cloud's portfolio and will cost $6 per user per month, but it will not require customers to already be users of Google's existing cloud-based services or enterprise collaboration tools. Google is launching a commercial zero-trust remote access service that will allow companies to enable their work-from-home employees to access internal web-based applications without the need of virtual private networks (VPNs).
