How is hybrid work impacting security incidents?
A 2025 survey by Microsoft indicated that in 2024, 61% of organizations experienced an increase in security incidents due to remote and hybrid work. Additionally, 65% of respondents noted that breaches resulted in a loss of customer trust, highlighting the significant impact of this shift on security.
What challenges do organizations face with multiple security solutions?
Organizations typically use an average of five identity solutions and four network access solutions from different vendors. This tool sprawl complicates management and integration, leading to increased security risks. In fact, 79% of organizations with six or more security solutions reported a rise in significant breaches over the past year.
How can organizations improve their security posture?
To strengthen security, organizations should consider unifying their identity and network access controls and fostering collaboration between teams. Nearly all survey respondents emphasized the importance of this collaboration, as it can lead to better protection against both existing and emerging threats in a complex work environment.
