Why Security In The Connected Workplace Is Everyone's Business

There was a time when cyber security was limited to a desktop computer with antivirus software.

Why Security In The Connected Workplace Is Everyone's Business

In today’s digital world, risks to networks and devices come in more forms and from more directions than ever before where destructive threats emerge every day and undiscovered vulnerabilities are exposed, proving that you can never be too secure.

As attacks have become more sophisticated and widespread in the last few years, companies are rethinking security in the workplace. From identity theft and intellectual property loss to infections by viruses and malware, IT administrators are tasked with adequately protecting information and assets from threats from the outside as well as within.

In the Middle East and North Africa region, security represents one of the major risks affecting businesses and individuals today. According to the latest forecast from Gartner, spending on enterprise information security technology and services is on pace to reach $1.9 billion in 2019, an increase of 9.8 percent over 2018. IT administrators are increasingly recognising the need for a holistic security strategy that can be applied at every level of the organisation — from servers, desktops and devices such as printers and multifunction devices, to the networks that connect them all. Although most companies have invested in preventing external attacks, 35 percent of all electronic crime is committed from malicious insiders and a third of data leaks come from within.
