Hybrid Work, Children, And Security: The Benefits And Risks
Cisco News, Friday, October 11th, 2024
Hybrid work is a great boon for family life. But organizations must ensure that parents, children, and sensitive data are safe from cybercrime.
By enabling greater flexibility and opportunities around the world, hybrid work has been nothing short of a revolution.
Just ask a working parent.
But for all its benefits in work/life balance for families, hybrid work is not without challenges.
Just ask an IT or security team.
To gain a better understanding of those challenges, Cisco's Working Parents Study surveyed 6,116 working parents aged 18 in over in 12 countries: the UK, France, Spain, Switzerland, Italy, Poland, Netherlands, Sweden, South Africa, UAE, Saudia Arabia, and Germany.
Among its findings? While a full 85 percent of parents share their devices used for work with children, organizations must do more to keep everyone protected.
For further insights on the study - and how organizations can support a hybrid work revolution that's safe and secure - we spoke with Martin Lee, EMEA lead for Cisco Talos, the company's threat intelligence and response group.
