Unprecedented circumstances across the world have been a catalyst for accelerated remote working. Businesses have been forced to activate, at speed, continuity plans to support thousands of people working from home like never before.

In many cases, 20 offices became 20,000 workplaces almost overnight. This dramatic increase in endpoint locations, means that IT leaders and decision makers need to rethink cybersecurity strategies, reassess risks and adapt security infrastructures to enable new ways of working.

It is crucial, that while the evolving nature of the office and need for remote working must be considered, businesses must also look at ways to integrate these new ways of working into their wider digital transformation plans.

As businesses try to manage an evolving hybrid home/office working arrangement as the new norm, it is critical to enable employees to work in agile and mobile ways, outside the four walls of the office without compromising the integrity of document and data security.
