Google is rolling out BeyondCorp Remote Access, a new security
service designed to allow remote access of internal systems
without using a VPN. It uses a “zero-trust approach,” which would
typically require some kind of additional authentication before
granting access to an external source. When companies want to
allow limited access to partners or contractors, it can be tricky to
set up a secure but limited set of access rules. At the same time,
when the number of remote connections suddenly soars, the VPN
architecture may not be equipped to handle the load.

Inside Google, BeyondCorp avoids the need for a VPN through a
design that includes a database of every device authorized to
connect, a security certificate installed on that device, and
integration with a human resources database that includes
information about usernames and group memberships. From the
employee side, they enter the network remotely through a single
sign-on system that authenticates them across the internal
databases, making the process fairly seamless. There is no need to
install or configure a separate piece of software. With BeyondCorp
Remote Access, companies facing similar issues, whether they are
Google Cloud customers or not, can use this version to help
directly solve those problems.

In PVE combat, players can level up, fight monsters and rare bosses, as well as world bosses with exceptionally rare loot. Items can be dropped in various qualities. Monsters will also drop runes, which can be used to upgrade equipment and craft items at the blacksmith. Finally, trade items to other players by using the global merchant system.
