For many employees, the concept of the modern office means working at their kitchen table, a coworking space, a café, or anywhere in between. On one hand, the recent transformation to remote and hybrid work offers greater flexibility and safety for employees. On the other hand, the modern office presents a unique set of risks for today's business and technology leaders, especially when it comes to cybersecurity. 

In this post, we introduce you to ConnectAnywhere, a secure, portable, out-of-the-box enterprise network device to serve today’s modern office and reduce the burden on your technology team.  

Work-from-Anywhere, Risk-from-Everywhere

Nearly everyone is guilty of using a work device for personal tasks—who hasn’t checked social media, read the news, or made a quick online purchase during a lunch break? Similarly, many people use their personal laptop or mobile phone for business purposes, like responding to an email or accessing a needed document. The modern office enables employees to work anywhere, but it also blurs the previous lines that existed between our personal and professional lives.

The problem is, these blurred lines also attract hackers, who take advantage of remote and hybrid work environments to tailor phishing campaigns, execute endpoint attacks, and infiltrate corporate networks. According to government sources, four in ten businesses reported a security breach in the last year. 

Additionally, workers are also using potentially insecure devices to connect to the corporate network. One survey found that a whopping 99% of respondents said they didn’t believe all their endpoints were protected by at least one security agent.

Nearly 75% of workers prefer a hybrid work arrangement, but there’s more at stake than employee productivity and preference. The modern office puts tremendous pressure on your technology team to ensure that security, business continuity, and employee demands are met and managed across multiple environments.
