We've been using Regus quite a bit lately because we just got rid of our office and just everybody works from home, so we’ll come together in these Regus spots when necessary. We get our own little contract password for the WiFi. But I can't imagine how they’d keep all the companies separate if they throw a bunch of security on there.

I sat down with WeWork and talked to their IT teams and my first question was, "Is your WiFi password the same globally?" They said, yes and it never changes. They treat it as a Starbucks. At that point, your responsibility—in IT or security—is to treat every single end point as an office. Especially if you're going to have people in a fully remote work environment. So with that being said, something like a secure access service edge (SASE) could be beneficial if it's not just your run-of-the-mill cloud access security broker (CASB) plus SD-WAN.
