In 2020, organizations made significant changes to the IT infrastructure to ensure a massive transition to remote work. According to our forecasts, by 2024, mobile workers will account for almost 60% of the total workforce in the United States. Such accelerated changes open up opportunities for attacks, now on employees' own devices and remote connections to enterprise applications. noted Michael Sabi, Vice President IDC of Research
