The sudden shift to a flexible remote work environment has presented businesses with new challenges to ensure employee productivity and reduce cybersecurity threats.

Disruptions in PC supply chains and employees’ increased reliance on personal devices have forced IT teams to expand their BYOD policies. With the increase in remote work and personal devices pulling double-duty, endpoints are more vulnerable than ever, with mobile attacks growing in popularity. Businesses will need to tighten their endpoint protection and increase investment in mobile security.

We recently partnered with IDG Research to ask IT leaders to what extent remote work has impacted their business. A few key data points illustrate the need for businesses to reevaluate their IT toolkit:

• Half of respondents (49%) stated that remote work has increased employees’ use of personal devices for work.
• When it comes to BYOD, 71% of respondents are more accepting of employees using personal devices for work.
• ALL respondents (100%) revealed that remote work has exposed gaps in security policies and practices, with 25% stating it has exposed considerable gaps that must be closed.
