Data security trends for a remote workforce in 2021
2020 was an extraordinarily turbulent year, with most of the world forced to work remotely for extended periods of time. From an IT perspective, this meant there was a significant focus on making sure businesses were fully operational whilst working remotely. This included, for example, a significant rise in the uptake of collaboration enhancing technology, such as Microsoft Teams, which enables colleagues to communicate via chat, audio and video.
In terms of technology, most current trends are directly driven or influenced by the COVID 19 pandemic. Whilst 2020 was about making businesses function, 2021 will be about ensuring these businesses are operating securely.
The pandemic has presented new risks and challenges for businesses of every size and industry. This increased risk demands the need for improved data security strategies, to protect businesses from a data breach, financial loss and reputational damages for companies.
