The move to remote work has been accelerating for years.

But COVID-19 has thrown us into a world where remote working is a must. How are you managing the transition to the new world?

Many organisations are struggling with the rapid shift to distributed work. The pressure on IT leaders has never been greater.

"All eyes are on me. I'm trying to deal with exploding online loads, people working remotely, new cyber threats. Every day it's something new."

— Banking CIO, quoted in McKinsey

The Biggest Challenges of Remote Work

Device Configuration

Getting devices configured and in employees' hands quickly — without compromising on security or setup quality.

Increased Attack Surface

Distributed teams create a larger attack surface. Policy avoidance becomes more common when employees are outside the office network.

Targeted Malware & Phishing

Remote workers are prime targets for phishing campaigns and malware that exploit distraction and unfamiliar home network environments.

Business Data Access

Ensuring employees can securely access the business data and applications they need — without opening the door to unauthorised access.
