The workforce is changing.
The gig-based economy is here, and the more seamless the technology, the happier and more productive workers are.
But fewer than 25% of workers are pleased with their current Virtual Private Network (VPN) solution.6 Your business plan must account for seamless technology that can improve productivity.
Security is key —
and there’s a big need for it.
80% of CIOs are involved in security initiatives to a greater degree than they have been in the past.7
With greater connectivity comes greater risk, and chief information officers are working to address those risks more than ever before.
Remote workers are susceptible to security breaches — and bouncing back from one isn’t easy or cheap. Using network access control, mobile app reputation services and malware content control are key for IT leaders to mitigate risks.
