SECURE DEVICE ACCESS THE MISSING KEY TO YOUR SECURITY STRATEGY
a
A growing problem
The proliferation of portable devices has magnified the cybersecurity challenges facing organizations of all sizes . Globally , the average person now uses 3.6 personal and work-related devices , and in North America , the figure is a stunning 13.4 . The challenges of managing and securing IT assets have been amplified by “ bring your own device ” policies at 85 % of organizations , accelerated in part by shifts to remote and hybrid work arrangements . As a result , IT organizations often no longer manage – or are even aware of – every device that accesses corporate resources .
To better understand device access and management challenges facing organizations of all sizes , Okta commissioned Foundry to survey 150 IT security decision-makers across a spectrum of small , midsized , and large businesses .
Struggle to control
The results indicate that IT groups need help with this issue . An overwhelming 94 % said their businesses have been negatively impacted by unauthorized devices or system access , with ransomware being their top device-related security concern . One in five security incidents originates from a lost or stolen asset . This indicates that the inability to fully lock down or block access to employees ’ and contractors ’ devices poses a severe security risk .
Over 40 % worry about unauthorized access to corporate-issued devices , and nearly as many are concerned about access to personal devices used at work . Large organizations expressed more significant concerns about this issue than small ones , probably because of the volume of endpoints in use . p
