Fortinet: Remote Working has Resulted in Breaches for Two-Thirds of Businesses>

In its “2023 Work-From-Anywhere Global Survey,” Fortinet discovered that most of the 570 organisations polled are still willing to allow employees to work from home or are adopting a hybrid-work strategy for their staff. In the last two to three years, work-from-anywhere (WFA) employee vulnerabilities have been cited as a possible cause of data breaches by nearly two-thirds (62%) of the firms. The survey found that different businesses use very different security measures for protecting remote workers. Newton asserts that individuals who have suffered a breach associated with WFA are more inclined to invest in both conventional technologies, such as laptop antivirus and VPN, as well as cutting-edge techniques, such as SASE, SD-WAN, and zero-trust network access (ZTNA). 94% of respondents intend to increase their security budget to account for WFA policies, with more than a third (37%) anticipating an increase of 10% or more, the report reads.
