That's why making security frictionless is key to securing private sector assets and, as a result, protecting national security interests.

More security tools and more security spending does not necessarily equal more protection - cybercrime is as lucrative as ever even as organizations spend more on cybersecurity every year.

Vendors need to consider that the frontline for cybersecurity may now be the homes of any their customers' employees - not just the IT infrastructure that lives at HQ. Security needs to be frictionless for everyone and should no longer be viewed as practices primarily used only by technical audiences.

It will be on vendors to step up to the challenge of delivering solutions that make organizations feel like security can be frictionless regardless of volatile security concerns, such as enabling a smooth transition to a zero-trust architecture.

With these steps in mind, vendors can help organizations turn frictionless security from wishful thinking into reality.

While vigilance against cyberthreats will always be necessary, the more security is easy and embedded, the more organizations will be able to focus on fulfilling their missions without security headaches.
