Few companies prepared to secure and support a shift to remote work.

The report also found that only 30% of companies surveyed were fully prepared to secure and support a complete shift to remote work and 50% reported their company will continue to support work from home capabilities due to increased productivity and business benefit.

"According to Gartner,"In response to COVID-19, many organizations rapidly moved their employees to remote work where possible.

73% of organizations reported they have partial or no visibility into user activity if their VPN is disabled by remote workers; only 27% reported full or complete visibility into user activity.

Users are mixing personal use and corporate use on their work laptops, increasing the risk of drive-by-downloads, users are more susceptible to phishing attacks at home, and organizations no longer have visibility since most remote workers operate outside the corporate network.
