Cybersecurity challenges rise amid hybrid work and SaaS adoption

Modern IT environments are facing significant security challenges due to the rise of hybrid work, Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policies, and the rapid adoption of SaaS and generative AI tools. Traditional security measures are increasingly struggling to cover the entire scope of IT assets, leading to a visibility gap regarding encrypted traffic and user activities.

Global research indicates that 95% of organizations have experienced browser-based attacks and 94% have faced phishing attempts within the last 12 months. Furthermore, even in organizations that prohibit BYOD, 98% of policy violations occur, highlighting the risks of shadow IT. To address these vulnerabilities without compromising user productivity, experts suggest a combination of Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) and secure browser technologies to protect the central point of modern work.
