IT leaders are facing major work device blind spots - and it's putting security at risk
Briefly

Twenty-five percent of UK businesses detect unauthorized devices accessing corporate data at least once a month. Almost half of these companies have experienced data breaches from unmanaged devices in the past year. A survey indicates that 67% of IT leaders lack complete visibility of work devices, while 64% discovered unknown devices or applications in the last year due to the shift to hybrid and remote work. Furthermore, 40% of employees use personal devices for work daily, while many companies manage multiple endpoint security tools, complicating security efforts.
Nearly a quarter of UK businesses detect unauthorized devices accessing corporate data at least every month, with nearly half having experienced a data breach caused by unmanaged devices during the last year alone.
For example, of the 48% who experienced breaches from unmanaged devices, 35% said they were being attacked at least once a month.
One-in-five employees don't know whether their organization authorizes the use of personal devices for work, yet 40% are doing so on a daily basis.
Nearly six-in-ten companies now use four or more different endpoint security tools, causing significant operational challenges.
