Secure the new hybrid workplace

Always-on security, wherever users find themselves

Talk to an expert

A new reality: The rise of the hybrid workplace

The global workforce has become decentralized. The traditional workplace will never be the same. A new option has emerged that will most likely become the new normal for the modern workplace — a hybrid option.

With some employees in the office and some in the field, organizations need advanced protection to detect and prevent bad actors. This landscape requires a fundamentally new approach to securing workers, whether in-office or remote.

Did you know?

9%

of workers expect to return to the office 100 percent of the time after their office reopens*

19%

of employees prefer to work 3 or more days at home, even after offices reopen**

64%

of employees agree that having the option to work from anywhere directly affects whether to stay or leave a job**

Think beyond traditional perimeters and endpoints

Sensitive data and applications have moved beyond the protection of the firewall and the data center. Perimeter security appliances and VPNs are not enough to protect your devices and data. And you now protect more devices, in more locations, than ever before.

Backhauling traffic to corporate offices is expensive, leading to an increase in more direct-to-internet (DIA) connections for branch offices and mobile users. This creates more gaps in visibility and coverage for IT security professionals, and users are more likely to get infected with malware.

Today’s hybrid workplace calls for always-on security that works wherever your users find themselves, both on and off your corporate network.

With the rise in remote work and the use of cloud applications, we had to rethink our traditional network. We had very good protection within our offices, but once people were working remotely, they were largely outside the scope of our security. Due to our worldwide presence, Cisco Umbrella was the best fit for us over other potential solutions.

With Umbrella, the traffic is very fast, and it was seamless for us to deploy. The key benefit from the users’ point of view is transparent protection and the availability of resources from wherever they are working.
