The implications of employees working from anywhere shouldn't be overlooked. Whether you're slowly encouraging a move back to the office, enabling better work from anywhere opportunities, or permanently shifting to remote working for good - your organisation must re-evaluate the security, connectivity, and support controls of your IT infrastructure.
Home working technology such as personal routers and shared access to cloud resources all come with inherent security risks. Yet, as our infographic shows, many organisations now recognise that these solutions aren't enough. 53% plan to implement better security policies, and 55% want to provide better hardware and equipment to sustain remote working. Thus, organisations must now revisit the technology they're using, and assess whether it provides truly reliable security and control.
Adapting to the new demands of the new working world isn't without it's challenges. Many employees are now accustomed to using home working solutions, and it's difficult and costly to roll out new solutions at a large scale. Instead, many businesses are choosing to implement software-enabled security technology that reinforces their existing IT infrastructure. This lets end-user employees access their existing home routers but via secure software - for added protection and control across your organisation.
At Intercity, we recognise that security is not the only hurdle you must navigate with the new working world. Businesses require a full-circle approach to IT infrastructure that combines security, support, connectivity, and business continuity expertise into everything you do.
