Security News > 2020 > December > Security Predictions for the New Year: Budgets will Suffer in 2021
In a matter of days, employees found themselves working from home and the security team needed to change from managing controlled office environments to enabling security remotely and ensuring that people remained reliably connected and productive.
The net result of these changes makes it likely we will see security budgets reduced in 2021.
The security team must think differently - look for ways to be more effective and deliver solutions that leverage existing infrastructure to improve overall security posture with minimal investment.
Providing different levels of remote worker security ensures suitable protection and, at the same time, helps the security team with enhanced visibility and simplified support when issues occur.
Reduced security budgets will carry challenges in 2021, but smarter thinking will alleviate pain points.
