This is particularly important when the new “normal” has millions of employees working from remote locations on fragile, home-based WiFi networks and nonsanitized personal devices.

According to Gartner, traditional “prevent and detect” approaches are inadequate. Opportunistic by nature, malicious actors look for the easiest ways to attack the most users and siphon off the maximum gains.
