Each year, the industry continues to see cyber security breaches and attacks increase in volume at a staggering pace. For example, there were 16,555 known security vulnerabilities logged in 2018; an increase of more than 10,000 since 2016 (according to the Common Vulnerability and Exposures (CVE) list). Furthermore, there was an estimated $45 billion in business losses worldwide from cyber attacks (according to the Online Trust Alliance), and a 62% increase in malware detections in Q1 2019 (according to WatchGuard’s Internet Security Report). Amidst these increasing threats, organizations are having to adapt to a shifting network perimeter driven by an increasingly remote workforce. To better understand the state of remote
workforce security, WatchGuard commissioned a survey of US-based IT administrators and managers.
