According to a report released on Thursday, at least 87 percent of Indian respondents stated their companies experienced a security breach in the previous year.
Organizations with a majority of employees working from home had a much higher network security breach rate than companies with a majority of employees working in the office, according to Barracuda, Cloud-enabled security solutions provider.
Murali Urs, Country Manager, Barracuda Networks India, said in a statement, “While organizations are adapting to the hybrid approach thinking about both working from anywhere and application hosting, they continue to experience a high level of network breaches and facing ongoing connectivity and security challenges,”
Urs added “However, realizing that moving to SaaS applications and the public Cloud can improve both the user experience and security, they have started embracing new SASE technologies,”
The report noted that 79% of respondents surveyed in India stated their company has been the victim of at least one ransomware attack in the previous year.
Based on the survey, only 7% of employees in Indian organizations are currently working full-time in the office.
Network breaches, ransomware attacks, and remote-work challenges highlight the need for Cloud-native Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) deployments, according to the research, which surveyed 750 IT decision makers around the world.
