Hybrid working and the physical workplace environment
The pandemic pushed fast forward on the hybrid workplace trend. Data shows that most workers prefer a balance of working from home and the office, and yet not everyone thrives in this environment. Now there are a number of questions pending: How do businesses manage this level of coordination? When and how much should things shift "back"? How will the result reshape workspaces and real estate needs? Learn where leaders are struggling to provide technical parity by design (rather than circumstance) to their workforce.
The new normal: Hybrid work means greater focus on endpoint security
We used to think of network security as a perimeter issue, but with so many endpoints, the perimeter no longer exists. Employees now work from various locations using different devices, making it is close to impossible for any single IT team to confirm that they're using protection mechanisms.
Employees require safe, versatile endpoint experiences to perform at their best from anywhere in the world. How can organizations protect themselves? Endpoint security seeks out viruses, malware, and other risks and, if it finds them, it works to mitigate the risk to the rest of the network by keeping it locked down.
