Restricting access by IP does not work well for companies with remote employees. Most ISPs in North America do not provide static IPs to residential customers.
Companies that do implement this kind of security force people to go with VPN providers who provide static IPs for ~$30-40/month.
Usually people just go with the cheapest option that defeats the purpose of this whole setup.
It works well when your employees access resources from a static location like a company office, but it completely breaks down with WFH teams
