The Enterprise Security Imperative in the Era of Flexible Working

Data security has always been crucial for enterprise businesses, but the stakes have never been higher than they are now. That is partly because the average cost of a data breach globally reached $4.35m in 2022, $5.05m for the UK, $4.85m for Germany, and $4.34m for France. But mainly it is because businesses suddenly have a lot more security issues to deal with. And it is all down to flexible working.

The reason for this is straightforward, although the solutions are not. No matter how expert the IT department might be at maintaining the security and integrity of the company’s technology infrastructure when everyone is working inside the firewall, it is infinitely harder when people start accessing company resources via unsecured networks, or on their personal laptops, tablets and mobile phones.
