Key findings include:
• Phishing threats (71%) and malware (61%) have emerged as the most significant new threat vectors concerning remote work environments.
• The top three policies and protocols that employees are most resistant to complying with include multi-factor authentication (35%), mobile device management (33%), and password managers (26%), making it difficult for them to be fully and securely authenticated to all of their applications, devices, etc.
• Seventy-eight percent of organizations agree that it is critical to very important for security tools to adapt to a changing digital environment and that people should not have to configure them.
• Almost half of all organizations (45%) are shifting from multiple, siloed security tools to a platform solution.
