With the rise of hybrid and remote work environments, security leaders have wondered how best to protect their employees. The 2023 State of Hybrid Work and Browsing Security Survey Report by Red Access sheds light on the challenges faced by CISOs in today's age of hybrid work. The report's primary points of interest include the impact of the hybrid workforce on security posture, the new risks this way of work introduces as well as modern CISOs' chief concerns and strategies for hybrid work security moving forward.
The report is based on the survey responses of 300 CISOs from the U.S. and U.K., hailing from companies of 5,000 or more employees. Among the report's most critical findings is the revelation that browsing-based threats ranked as CISOs' number one concern, regardless of whether their organization was operating primarily in an in-office, hybrid or remote setting. And as for the risks posed by hybrid and remote workers specifically, insecure browsing also topped the list of CISOs' concerns.
