Whether bolstering or enhancing corporate security posture, creating awareness for formerly office-based employees now working from home or responding to the damage caused by an unfortunate breach or attack, we have learned the importance of resilience and the need to learn from success or failure.

The pandemic produced new challenges for security teams in addition to their existing workload. They not only found themselves working remotely - but with a workforce doing the same, threats that could be spotted on the corporate network were now starting to hide on a home WiFi.

There are still roles that need local support, but for many engineers working at home, it could be argued that investment to improve remote working makes their job more accessible - and can open the door to hiring remote security specialists in the future.

We are used to changes in our daily routine that include more VIP and video conference calls, electronic collaboration and the additional security needs established to keep our information safe as we work from home.

Security is imperative as data protection is a business imperative and a legal requirement, but cumbersome security can spoil the user experience.

As we move from remote work and back into offices, we've learned a lot about being effective at home, and the security teams have fought off attacks successfully.
