Device Security in a Changed World
Hybrid workforces and an increased threat presence mean the playing field has changed — and so must your device security strategy.
The everywhere office
Advancements in cloud technology over the past decades prompted forward-thinking businesses to embrace remote work. If employees can access corporate data from anywhere, why not let them? Then the pandemic arrived. Off-site work was no longer an option, but a must.
Where has this left us?
- 83% of workers now prefer a hybrid model.
- 63% of high-growth companies have enabled productivity-anywhere workforce models.
Blurry boundaries
With work-life balance being less about balance and more about blending, workers are using their devices differently and in ways that add more risk to businesses.
- 52% send or receive personal email
- 38% shop online
- 25% check social media
- 24% stream videos or movies
- 5% play video games on their work device.
While not intending to do so, remote workers engaging in non-work activities on work devices are creating vectors of attack that cybercriminals are happily exploiting.
- 24% of companies incurred unexpected expenses relating to a cybersecurity breach or malware attack following shelter-in-place orders.
- 20% faced a security breach as a result of a remote worker.
- The average cost for a breach is $1.07 million higher when remote work is a factor.
Malicious intentions
Cybercriminals are having a field day. In particular, firmware and hardware issues have become top priorities for enterprise security teams.
In recent months…
- APT and ransomware threat actors targeted many enterprise VPNs.
- Windows® and Linux® devices have been at risk for bootkits.
- Some of the most popular malware and ransomware added firmware-specific capabilities.
