As a CIO or CTO navigating the new hybrid work landscape, you're facing challenges that go far beyond managing applications. At Camwood, our 25 years of experience have taught us that success in this era requires a holistic approach to security, productivity, and IT empowerment. 

  

The Hybrid Work Revolution: Beyond Remote   

Recent statistics paint a clear picture: 

  • 80% of workers plan to continue in a hybrid capacity 
  • 24% are already embracing hybrid work models   

This shift isn't just changing where we work—it's transforming the entire security landscape of our organisations.   

The Perils of Decentralised Security   

Placing security responsibilities on individual employees is a risky gambit: 

  • Unsecured home networks become potential entry points 
  • Personal devices may lack critical security updates 
  • Human error remains the primary cause of data breaches 

  

Beyond BYOD: The Shadow IT Threat   

The rise of hybrid work has exacerbated the Shadow IT problem: 

  • End-of-life applications create vulnerabilities 
  • Multi-layered, in-house applications complicate updates 
  • Non-IT-managed apps become backdoors for cyber attacks
