Enabling and Securing a Hybrid Work Environment
The last year has proven that businesses can operate effectively with a predominantly remote workforce. While there are still efficiencies to be made, the tradition of going into an office five days a week appears to be all but dead. The next iteration of the modern workplace is expected to be a hybrid one, with employees doing their jobs where it suits them.
IT and Security leaders must determine how best to cope, but also how to support this new style of work, in a way that does not put businesses at unnecessary risk nor creates friction for end users.
In this session, Michael Covington, VP of Product Strategy, will be discussing:
- The trends surrounding remote work that are prompting a broad reassessment of how security is delivered in the modern workplace
- The evolution of “mobile” risk and the impact emerging threats are having on remote workers
- Real-life examples of the threats facing businesses, and observations on how to successfully combat these new risks using zero trust principles
- Practical insights for informing your business’ security strategy in 2021
