Transform your workforce in the most secure way

As strategic catalysts, new-age technologies are nowadays assisting organizations in streamlining their workforce, thereby improving the productivity ratios of their employees. Coming equipped with a host of benefits required for transforming the workforce, these technologies are fast getting assimilated into the organizational strategy. And there are good reasons, too.  

 With the evaluation of the workforce, millennials have emerged as the largest generation of the present workforce. Their changing work styles, coupled with emerging technologies, enhance their expectations from the workplace. Over 82% of employees revealed that that truly customized technology would provide a major boost to their efficiency and productivity, while 31% of survey participants admitted the necessity of having a specific device or ecosystem for doing their job.¹ 

So, workforce transformation is no longer a choice, but a business necessity. 

Security challenges on the journey to transforming the workforce 

With workforce transformation comes the growing demand for personal device support. However, the security aspect cannot be overlooked. With the rapid transformation of the way people work, data is now being used everywhere, anytime, making them more prone to new threats.  

More shockingly, 49% of employees use corporate-issued devices to access their personal accounts on different social media. On the other hand, 72% of employees admitted that they would share sensitive, confidential or regulated company information under certain circumstances.² 

Now here comes an important question. How can we level the playing field? How can IT managers maintain security of their confidential information and data while supporting the multitude of devices, all with differing operating systems, and in different locations as a part of their workforce transformation strategy?
