Remote work has left many organizations lagging in productivity and revenue due to remote access solutions.

While 62% of IT managers said they are using cloud-based security solutions to secure remote access, 49% said they're still using a firewall, and 41% a hardware VPN. But there are signs of progress, as organizations increasingly favor modern cloud-based solutions over outdated legacy solutions.

"It's no surprise that companies are increasingly moving to cloud-based cyber and network security platforms. As corporations of all sizes rely on the cloud to run their businesses, they need new ways of consuming security to effectively prevent cyberattacks regardless of their location or network environment."
