It has just been announced that Google is pushing its return to the office date into 2022. With so much uncertainty remaining over how companies can balance home working, a return to office, and vaccination policies, it’s clear that hybrid-working isn’t going anywhere. Therefore, organisations will have to continue to navigate multi-cloud, highly complex working environments in order to stay competitive.

However, with added complexity comes added risk, and hackers will be the first ones to exploit this proliferation in devices and access points by targeting loosely secured cloud services. All businesses must therefore look towards implementing safeguarding technology to ensure they are ready to operate regardless of hybrid environments.

Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solutions may offer a viable option for businesses looking to ensure the seamless network connectivity and security that long term hybrid-working demands. SASE can secure all remote access points, internet, network traffic and sensitive company data with government grade security, ensuring a smooth continuation of hybrid working now and beyond the pandemic.
