Shares Bitglass CTO Anurag Kahol
Security company Bitglass s latest Remote Workforce Security Report found a majority of organisations still have at least three-quarters of their employees working remotely.
The Bitglass 2021 Remote Workforce Security Report also found that 90% of organisations are likely to maintain high levels of remote work because of the productivity benefits it has brought.
Just over half of the respondents said their companies intend to make some positions permanently remote. The figure before the pandemic was one third.
However, there are still concerns about the security aspects of remote work.
Cloud security vendor Bitglass has named Wayne Neich as regional sales director for Australia and New Zealand,
The hire positions Neich as the company’s lead exec in ANZ. He brings more than two decades of experience in the IT industry, having worked in leadership positions at organisations including Blue Coat Systems, Silver Peak and Nutanix.
Bitglass is a cloud-based secure web gateway and cloud access security broker, sitting between users and cloud apps to monitor activity and enforce security policies.
“The market is overflowing with legacy IT security solutions built around on-premises appliances. They are extremely complex and expertise intensive, and their vulnerabilities are publicly exposed weekly. The truth is that such vendors are losing the war on cybersecurity,” Neich said.
