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, with users and devices connecting from anywhere to everywhere. This distributed environment creates significant challenges for security. Approximately one-third (31%) of employees log into at least six different networks weekly for work, and 84% access company networks from unmanaged devices.* This expands the attack surface, making threat monitoring difficult and elevating the risk associated with remote access.
Securing internet, SaaS (including generative AI), and private applications without friction is tough. IT struggles to balance robust protection with a seamless user experience, often leading to frustration, shadow IT, shadow AI, and compromised security. The rapid growth in AI usage is fueling productivity benefits while also opening new security gaps and risks with which IT/security teams must contend.
The historical "tool for every threat" approach results in a sprawl of disconnected solutions. This complexity burdens IT with management and integration, leading to policy conflicts and inefficiencies. Over three-quarters (77%) of organizations report that too many security solutions slow down their ability to detect, respond, and recover from incidents.* Seven in ten (70%) companies manage more than 10 security point solutions, with 26% juggling over 30, creating gaps and escalating operational costs.*
A distributed workforce and expanding digital footprint drives up risk, while simultaneously, threats unceasingly grow in frequency and sophistication. Nearly half (49%) of organizations experienced at least one cyberattack in the past year. AI-driven threats are a major concern, with 86% of business leaders reporting at least one AI-related incident in the past year, including AI-enhanced social engineering and prompt injection attacks.* Concern is equally high for identity-related threats, as 51% of organizations have suffered financial losses due to identity breaches in the last year.+
