Hybrid Working Is Changing How We Think About Security By Prakash Mana, CEO, Cloudbrink Security will continue to head the list of priorities for CISOs in 2024, but how we secure our enterprises will need rethinking in the face of the workplace revolution. No, this isn’t another article about AI, but about the hybrid workplace. The pandemic didn’t create hybrid working, but it massively accelerated trends that were already in play turning what had been a steady movement into a revolution. The IT firefighting that started in 2020 to cope with the exodus of office users may have ceased as the Covid crisis becomes a fading memory, but the issues haven’t gone away. The first 100% digital workforce of GenZ’s and millennials continue to demand a certain level of workplace freedom. Around half the white-collar workforce now works away from corporate offices for at least two days a week. This has profound implications for IT: • Remote users are harder and more expensive to manage and support than office-based staff Cyber Defense eMagazine – February 2024 Edition 36 Copyright © 2024, Cyber Defense Magazine.

• IT no longer controls where and how users connect to enterprise applications – making it harder than ever to impose a security perimeter • While out-of-office work has increased exponentially, security and networking teams have expanded incrementally, if at all. Their workload has risen accordingly, as has mean time to resolution of issues • The nature of security threats and the tactics needed to address them are changing. Security is only half the picture. Exclusively focusing on security can obscure what IT is there to do, which is to improve the productivity of staff, the experience of users and customers, and the profitability of the enterprise. Ensuring the security of your organization should not come at the cost of a subpar IT experience or hinder your users' ability to perform as well as with their office-bound peers. Cloudbrink believes that maintaining security and quality of experience in all corners of the hybrid workplace is one of the major challenges facing enterprises in 2024. While most of the attention is on the security challenges, users connecting to the enterprise via Wi-Fi, 4G/5G and consumer grade broadband face numerous network reliability and performance issues that can severely compromise user experience and productivity. Unresolved connectivity problems can undermine morale, jeopardize employee retention, diminish customer service quality, and ultimately threaten security as users seek alternative solutions to bypass difficult IT systems. Don’t take our word for it. Last year the analyst firm Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) polled 354 IT pros including CIOs, CISOs, and networking and security teams. The research concluded that: • Less than a third of enterprises (32%) believe they have fully succeeded in providing parity of experience to users in and out of the office. • The siloed structure of IT organizations results in security and networking teams each following their own agenda. Security is usually the higher priority with security teams typically taking a lead role in shaping how remote users connect to the enterprise. • Respondents typically saw security and performance as a trade-off: you can have one or the other, but not both. 46% admitted that they prioritize security over performance while only 34% try to optimize both. • Most of the solutions deployed for secure application access, including VPN, ZTNA, SD-WAN and SASE incurred performance and other overheads. For instance, SD-WAN solutions for home users typically involve uprated network connections and – in nearly three-quarters of cases – hardware rollouts. • VPN was the most used solution, deployed by 61% of enterprises, but considered optimal by only 46%.
