CIO’s cybersecurity budget allocations are too spread out across a myriad of single solutions. Vendors convince CIOs they need the latest product to halt new attacks when in actuality the addition of yet another disparate cybersecurity tool leads to blind spots. Cyber budgets get stretched too thinly across single solutions when they should match the organization’s IT and software spending priorities.

Over the last few years, it has become more and more apparent that the status quo for networking and security is no longer viable. Endlessly extending hub-and-spoke networks to more remote users, branch offices, and cloud apps increases risk, harms the user experience, and is prohibitively complex and expensive. The same is true when relying on castle-and-moat security models to secure the expanding network through ever-growing stacks of security appliances.

There is a large and growing divide in terms of who gets to work from home. Research on job postings found that remote work is far more common for higher paid roles, for roles that require more experience, for full-time work, and for roles that require more education. Managers should be aware of this divide, as it has the potential to create toxic dynamics within teams and to sap morale.
