The changing security needs for the hybrid network

As remote and hybrid working continues to become the norm for many organisations globally, IT teams face increasing cybersecurity challenges

The pandemic might be behind us, but hybrid working is here to stay – with a recent report by Littler Mendelson PC finding over 70% of US employers are embracing hybrid work models.

But, though hybrid working offers many benefits, such as increased flexibility and reduced overhead costs, it also presents unique cybersecurity challenges that companies must address. According to a report by EY, remote working can increase an organisation's vulnerability to security threats.

As remote and hybrid working continues to become the norm for many organisations globally, IT teams face the challenges of ensuring the new corporate network and infrastructure are fully equipped to be able to securely facilitate this new flexible work environment.

As Etay Maor, Senior Director of Security Strategy at Cato Networks, explained to us this month, traditionally, the corporate workforce has been tethered to office configurations that made it easier to provide secure access to company applications.

As Maor describes, organisations looking to support hybrid work will require a long-term strategy. MARCUS marcus.law@bizclikmedia.com
