Once again, MSSPs are ideally suited to identify and address these issues.

With no end to COVID-19 in sight, 85% of executives predict their organizations will feel the negative effects of the pandemic for months. Most (70%) say successfully implementing long-term home IT for remote workers will prove difficult for three main reasons. They are compliance regulations (26%); cybersecurity risk management (25%); and balancing employee privacy with cyber risk mitigation (19%). That’s all according to another in a series of vendor-commissioned reports, this one from Tanium, which provides unified endpoint management and security.

For example, 71% of IT departments said that, every week, they were finding IT assets they didn’t know about or have in their inventories.

One key finding of the study was the contrast in how prepared leaders felt for the shift to remote work pre- and post-transition. While 88 percent said that they felt ready to shift to a fully remote workforce, almost all––96 percent––said they were caught off guard by the security challenges they faced within the first two months. The top three challenges were:…
