In 2020, 86 percent of organizations experienced a successful attack, up from 81 percent the prior year, resulting in the largest year-over-year increase in the last six years.

Security professionals were faced with complex challenges fueled by a global pandemic that dramatically expanded work-from-home programs.

Organizations quickly pivoted their workforces, swiftly accelerating bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies and introducing new technology to cater to the anytime, anywhere needs of employees. This resulted in a massive playing field for threat actors.

The 2021 Cyberthreat Defense Report examines these pandemic-fueled challenges and how security professionals are increasingly looking to cloud-based security solutions to overcome them.

CyberEdge Group surveyed 1,200 qualified IT security decision-makers and practitioners in November 2020 to understand their perceptions about the industry's risks, practices, and technology.

The sample group consists of respondents from 17 countries, representing 19 industries working in organizations larger than 500 employees.

Topics you will learn about:

• Why the threat landscape propelled ransomware attacks.
• How IT security spending increases are slowing.
• Why the adoption of cloud-based security solutions is increasing.
• How organizations are addressing the most pressing risks.

Is Security an Enabler or Inhibitor of the Future of Work?

It's no secret that the drastic, sudden changes in the way we work over the past nine months have negatively impacted user experience and increased cybersecurity risk. In response, IT departments have scrambled to empower newly remote employees, seeking ways to enable ubiquitous application access and improve network performance. But the acceleration of the Future of Work has come at a cost. Business continuity concerns have caused organizations to focus on improving the user experience for remote employees at the expense of security.

IT professionals know this isn't sustainable. Menlo's new research report captures the concerns of IT professionals at U.S. based organizations as they grapple with the acceleration of digital transformation in the age of Covid.

Download the report to learn key insights, including:

• IT departments are being forced to protect an increasingly expanding threat surface
• Things will only get worse before they get better if changes aren't made now
• User experience is still the priority for security professionals

You don't have to continue to make an experience versus security decision. You can have both. Download the report today.

As the enterprise work environment completely shifted to a highly-distributed model of users, data, apps, and services, the perimeterless evolution has taken place.

To help IT security leaders stay ahead of the curve, we've created this new Ultimate Buyer's Guide that focuses on evaluating the security technology components of the SASE framework — what we like to call SASE Security.

With the rise of cloud-based applications and architectures, neglected legacy VPN architectures are failing to keep up. See Gartner's recommendations on how to migrate to large-scale remote access.

See how Menlo Security is delivering security through the cloud, allowing organizations to offload Internet traffic from legacy networks security architectures such as VPNs and firewalls. To learn more, download this white paper.

Coupled with VPN split tunneling, the Menlo Security Global Cloud Proxy with an Isolation Core™ ensures that security policies are applied to all traffic without overwhelming bandwidth and capacity. To learn more, view this brief.

Menlo Security's cloud-based platform is built around a technology called remote browser isolation that could prevent any web content from reaching users' devices. We believe that for companies and their users to employ an isolation platform, it must work without slowing down or negatively impacting user experience and workflow. Go under the hood of the world's only Cloud proxy platform with an Isolation Core™.

Gartner has recognized Menlo Security as a Visionary again in the 2019 Magic Quadrant for Secure Web Gateways (SWG). Our vision of Secure Cloud Transformation powered by isolation provides the most secure way to replace expensive, on-premises security appliances with a global security cloud. Our cloud-native architecture is elastic and auto scales security, while providing 100% protection from web and email attacks. Download your copy of Gartner's report to see how Menlo Security can help transform security.

Gartner recommends, "Complexity, latency and the need to decrypt and inspect encrypted traffic once will increase demand for consolidation of networking and security-as-a-service capabilities into a cloud-delivered secure access service edge (SASE, pronounced "sassy")."

Menlo Security offers the solution that delivers on Gartner's vision of network security in the cloud.
