The global shift to remote working poses new security challenges for businesses and traditional security solutions are failing to curb the problem of the insider threat and accidental data loss.

While 91% of IT leaders trust their staff to follow best security practices when working remotely, 52% of employees believe they can get away with riskier behavior when working from home.

Eighty-four percent of IT leaders also say data loss prevention is more challenging when employees are working from home and 58% of employees think information is less secure when working remotely.

Abandoning security when working remotely: Data loss is pervasive.

50% of workers from small companies agree they're less likely to follow safe data practices when working from home, compared to only 30% from companies with 1,000 employees or more.
