Despite the vaccine rollout, it seems unlikely that things will ever return to the way they were before the pandemic. A recent PWC survey found that 78% of CEOs believe that a distributed workforce is here to stay. As a result, organizations must rethink how they can best organize themselves in these uncertain times, remain secure and survive this indefinite period of remote work and virtual interactions.
Many companies are struggling to adapt their security strategy to accommodate the new normal. With remote working now an ongoing reality, there has been a rush to adopt and integrate a slew of new tools and cloud platforms to facilitate collaboration and maintain productivity. However, in the race to connect everyone, security implications are often overlooked. This, coupled with the fact that relying solely on a corporate firewall is no longer a sound security strategy, puts many organizations at risk.
