Cybersecurity should be a lot of things: resilient, robust, smart, proactive. What it shouldn’t be is overly complicated, disjointed, ineffective, and expensive — but it almost always is.
Hybrid work is here to stay. Users and devices need to connect from anywhere to everywhere. Seventy-eight percent* of organizations now support a mix of remote and on-site workers, and in 2022 cybersecurity teams reported that the shift to remote work (and the complications of securing it) was their second biggest challenge.**
It’s difficult to provide efficient connections to both the internet plus private and public SaaS apps that employees need to access. Security teams struggle to provide the right control and protection of access without adding friction or frustrating users. That friction inevitably creates lost productivity and user frustration, which can lead to downloading unauthorized apps and other Shadow IT.
Cybersecurity has a long history of adding a new security tool to the stack to deal with the latest threat, which helps mitigate threats but creates other problems. Organizations have accumulated dozens of security solutions that are disconnected from one another, difficult to manage, and hard to integrate. This contributes to gaps in security protection.
With a more distributed workforce comes more risk. There are more devices to secure (everything from BYOD employees to IoT devices like remote printers and sensors in industrial locations). Threats are evolving every day, increasing in both frequency and sophistication.
