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.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
