Empower your workforce with cutting-edge security strategies. Whether they are remote or in-office employees, this guide has you covered. Protect, don’t regret.
Zero Trust Security at the forefront
In today’s era defined by digital transformation, traditional security models are proving to be insufficient. Zero Trust security operates on a simple yet revolutionary principle: trust no one, inside or outside the network.
- By 2025, over 60% of organizations will embrace Zero Trust as a starting point for security.
- 10% of large enterprises will have a mature Zero Trust program in place by 2026.
- Zero Trust reduces the cost of a data breach by about $1 million.
Benefits of device personas
Continuous verification
Real-time scrutiny of users and devices throughout their network interaction.
Minimum privilege access
Users are given the minimum necessary access level, to minimize potential data breaches.
Micro-segmentation
Each segment is treated as a security zone to prevent a single breach from compromising the entire infrastructure.
Multi-factor authentication (MFA)
Adds an extra layer of protection to reduce risks of unauthorized access.
By implementing Zero Trust security within your organization, you will gain:
- Enhanced security for distributed workforces, regardless of location
- Proactive defense against advanced threats
- Seamless user experience for increased productivity
- Alignment with regulatory compliance in hybrid settings
- Resilience against insider threats in varied workspaces
Harmonizing hybrid workforces
As organizations pivot toward hybrid work models, a robust Identity and Access Management (IAM) strategy becomes more pressing than ever. IAM harmonizes the delicate balance between accessibility and security in the dynamic landscape of a hybrid workforce:
Dynamic Identity Management
Ensures each user is authenticated and authorized wherever they are located, creating a secure yet flexible environment.
Enhanced Security Posture
Acts as the first line of defense by ensuring that only authorized users access critical data.
Seamless Collaboration
Provides secure and easy access to collaborative tools regardless of employee location.
Regulatory Compliance Assurance
Enforces stringent access controls by maintaining a detailed audit trail for reporting.
By prioritizing Identity and Access Management, organizations not only secure their digital assets but also pave the way for innovation with a thriving hybrid workforce.
- 83% of data breaches involved financially motivated external actors.
- 47% of cyberattacks targeted password vulnerabilities, utilizing techniques like password spraying, credential stuffing and brute force attacks.
- 62% of data breaches in 2023 were caused by phishing.
From dynamic identity verification to adaptive access controls, Insight empowers your hybrid workforce with a robust and user-friendly IAM framework.
Guardians of the digital frontier
With employees accessing corporate networks from various devices and locations, traditional perimeter-based security models fall short. Endpoint security employs advanced threat detection mechanisms to identify and prevent malicious activities in real-time, regardless of employee location.
- 67% of IT pros highlight secure communication with remote endpoints as a major IT concern.
- 50% of respondents find their organization’s endpoint security solutions inadequate.
- 75% of security professionals strongly agree that efficient endpoint management enhances overall business operations.
Essential features for robust endpoint security include:
- Antivirus and antimalware protection
- Firewalls
- Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDPS)
- Device control
- Application Whitelisting/Blacklisting
- Data encryption
- Patch management
- Behavioral analysis
In the dynamic landscape of hybrid work, where digital perimeters are fluid and cyber threats are ever-evolving, endpoint and application security will empower you to safeguard your workforce.
Future-ready connectivity
The shift to hybrid work requires a reassessment of traditional networks and infrastructure models as the demands placed on a company’s network call for seamless and secure connections in the hybrid era. The two driving factors in adaptive work environments are:
Scalability
Modern infrastructure allows organizations to scale their networks dynamically to accommodate the fluctuating demands of a hybrid workforce.
Flexibility
A modernized network infrastructure is inherently flexible to support diverse connectivity needs, ranging from in-office to remote wireless access to cloud-based apps.
While 90% of surveyed companies acknowledge digital disruption, only 39% actively redesign their infrastructure in response.
You can embark on a new era of possibilities with a robust network infrastructure that offers:
- Reliable connectivity across employee locations
- Optimized performance for diverse tasks
- Dynamic agility for potential changes
- Cost-effective network solutions
