A recent Gallup poll shows a whopping 26% of the American workforce working from home full time in the summer of 2020. While it remains to be seen how many of these employees go back into an office environment full time, additional research has shown that nearly 40% of US jobs can be done from home. It is clear that remote work is here to stay.
While the benefits of remote work are countless in terms of productivity, talent retention, office space expenses, employee health, etc., the exposure to security risk has gone up immensely. Cyber criminal activity has spiked this year as the attack surface expanded and many companies scrambled to support a massive increase in remote workers.
