Remote workers stuff up security

IT decision-makers know and worry

More than a third of UK IT decision-makers admitted that their remote workers have already knowingly put corporate data at risk of a breach in the last year, according to an annual survey.

The survey, conducted between 12 and 18 March 2021 by Apricorn, found that ten percent of surveyed IT decision-makers thought they had no control over where company data goes or where it is stored (15 percent), and their technology does not support secure mobile/remote working (12 percent).

Additionally, more than half think remote workers will expose their organisation to the risk of a data breach. This figure had risen steadily year on year from 44 percent in 2018, yet despite the pandemic, the number of organisations expecting their remote workers to put them at risk of a data breach in 2021 has remained level. This suggests that organisations could have increased their security processes for remote workers or are simply putting more trust in their employees.
