Significant WFH After Pandemic Shapes Security Mechanisms Such as SASE

If work-from-home continues at a significant level after Covid-19 pandemic restrictions have abated, it is easy to suggest that investments in security at remote locations will be an important necessity. According to a study by Sapio Research, commissioned by Versa Networks, an average of 44 percent of office workers  in the United States, United Kingdom, France and Germany will continue to work at least part of the time from home.

That, in turn, suggests new investments in remote-location security. The study found 34 percent of businesses invested in Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) in the past year, and an additional 30 percent plan to do so in the next six to 12 months. 


The research, conducted by Sapio Research across 500 security and IT decision makers also found that 84 percent of businesses have accelerated their digital transformation and move to the cloud during the pandemic. 


“Digital transformation” can mean almost anything these days, from investments in processes to conduct transactions or operations “in the cloud” to use of such technology to recreate business models.
