Cybersecurity in the new normal Filed on April 25, 2021 Abdulqader Ali, CEO, Smartworld As the global workplace paradigm shifted to a remote workforce, many companies found themselves in a scramble to figure out whether an entire company operating remotely and safely was even feasible. Unfortunately, hurry leads to waste, and stopgap 'good enough' protection strategies have left companies with a severe lack of visibility through corporate and personal devices, as well as rudimentary breach response plans. Given the increased complexity of a dispersed workforce, companies need their cybersecurity technology to maintain a high level of protection for workers at home or the workplace. If and when we embrace a permanent hybrid work-from-anywhere workforce, the greatest danger is that organisations fall short in securing both offsite and in-office legacy systems.
