The global pandemic forced organizations to pivot rapidly from an office-based workforce model to one in which dynamic, hybrid working is the norm. This new way of working isn’t a short-term trend. According to our HP Wolf Security Blurred Lines and Blindspots report, 23% of office workers globally expect to predominantly work from home post-pandemic, with an additional 16% expecting to split their time equally between home and the office. This will have far-reaching consequences for organizations across all economies.
During the pandemic, businesses have been forced to transform in a matter of days and have been able to do so largely using digital technologies. But what is often forgotten is that digital innovation is impossible without security. Despite their essential role in enabling the business, security teams have been left feeling rejected by rebellious employees who resent new restrictions being placed on them.
