Most notably, 29% of respondents experienced increased security threats and 30% of businesses admitting to not having enough mobile devices to offer to their remote workers.

Seven out of ten employees admit to using personal devices for work - either exclusively or alongside a work device - with 18% noting that they haven't felt confident in the security of their device for the last 12 months.

With UK businesses now incurring more frequent security threats than ever before, decision-makers now face a race against time to ensure their operations are secured for a hybrid working model.

According to the study, Enterprise Management Mobility - technology and software that enables businesses to securely manage employee use of mobile devices and applications - has become an increasingly popular solution to addressing these issues, as more organisations look to simplify and secure their mobility strategy.

Nine in ten of those using the solution feel confident in the security of their company's devices - significantly higher than those who don't.

A third of respondents said they're preparing to integrate 5G-ready devices into their organisations this year with the same number saying they will become an essential factor in the future of hybrid work.
