To find out how a shift in working styles impacts companies' security posture, NinjaOne surveyed 400 employees in regulated industries.

The accompanying report, Hybrid Work in 2022: How IT is Managing the New Challenges of a Flexible Work Environment, highlights that many organizations are still too cavalier when managing technology that enables hybrid work.

While some companies have asked their staff to return to the office, many still provide flexibility regarding where and how their employees work.

The shift toward remote work is here to stay, so it's time for companies to rethink their technology stack ­and the policies that manage it.

Providing employees the ability to work when and where they choose can be a good business decision, but it can also open a company up to undue risk.

It takes some strategic planning and ongoing support, but properly supporting remote workers and improving a company's security posture is well worth the effort.
