For years, enterprises have absorbed the rising costs of cybersecurity breaches, treating them as inevitable rather than existential. But as threats escalate in scale and sophistication, one truth becomes unavoidable: the decentralized workforce is a prime target, and complacency is no longer an option. Security is not just an IT investment; it’s an operational imperative. Employees who demand flexibility must also recognize their role in mitigating risk. The organizations that fail to act decisively will soon find themselves at a crossroads: adapt or suffer the consequences of inaction. The question is not if change is coming, it’s whether enterprises will lead the shift or be forced into it by catastrophic failure.
