Seven in 10 hybrid workers experienced doubled security incidents

Security issues include phishing, denial of service, ransomware, and data loss.

Over nine in 10 employees in Singapore said they are under a hybrid or fully remote working scheme, the Fortinet survey also showed.

But according to the study, shifting to remote work lets employees work in homes or other locations or even use other equipment. 

Six in 10 of respondents in Singapore anticipate managed devices to surge by more than 100% over the next two years (with some expecting growth of 400%).

More than seven in 10 (76%) in Singapore expect unmanaged devices to grow by over 50%. 

Fortinet warned that this is expected to compound the complexity and risk of security breaches, placing additional strain on already overburdened IT security teams.
