Shift to remote work and heavy reliance on service providers for security leaves blind spots

32% said that they relied on their cloud provider's security services to provide security management for their public cloud assets.

"The transition to remote work and new online contactless business models is not temporary and is affecting the future strategy on how organizations invest in cybersecurity," said Anna Convery-Pelletier, CMO at Radware.

"Normally, businesses would make this shift over an extended period of time. However, the pandemic forced a massive shift to remote work which is now creating new security challenges."

"On-demand content consumption, contactless payments, curbside pickups, and remote workforces are now business imperatives. Executives must revisit what they've implemented to ensure that a lack of cybersecurity planning does not undermine their goals."

Other key findings Shift to remote operations: More than 80% of respondents said they believed more than 25% of their employees would work remotely in the future, a sharp contrast to pre-pandemic work-from-home policies, when only 48% of companies enabled more than 25% of their employees do so, and 6% did not enable remote work at all.
