Protecting the remote workforce will be enterprises' prime focus in 2021, according to a Cato Networks survey of 2,376 IT leaders.

As 81% of respondents expect to continue working-from-home, 2021 will see enterprises address those other areas, evolving their remote access architectures to protect the remote workforce without compromising on the user experience.

Writes Gartner, "The abrupt surge in remote work has made secure remote access a priority, bringing back to the forefront BYOPC and VPNs for the short term, and emphasizing on SASE and ZTNA for the long term."

80% indicated their companies will continue with a remote workforce in whole or in part.

Securing the remote workforce is proving challenging: Enforcing corporate security policies on remote users was the second most common security challenge.

Boosting remote access performance remains the most popular use case for 2021.
