IDC Future of Work FutureScape predicts that by 2023, digital transformation and business volatility will drive 55% of A2000 organizations to deploy remote or hybrid-first work models. Hybrid work models will force organizations to rethink how they instrument work facilities to be purpose-built to bridge between physical workplaces and digital workspaces. In the years since the outset of global remote and hybrid work, employees have seen improvements and challenges with work-life integration but an overall appreciation for the flexibility that hybrid work affords. Employers have overcome initial skepticism around hybrid work as they realized improved productivity, staff retention, and the opportunity to hire talent without geographical restrictions.

Although much has changed in the past two years, there are still some pervasive myths about remote and hybrid models that are having a direct impact on the broader conversation about the future of hybrid work. There might be a core truth to things that are labeled myths so in this session, the speakers will share their opinions surrounding hybrid work practices, security risks, teaming, productivity and corporate culture.

Over time the concept of the edge, or perimeter, has changed a lot as far as security professional are concerned. What used to be a clear well-defined perimeter is now amorphous and distributed. Indeed the systems themselves are constantly changing – meaning that security now needs to be agile enough to be able to address these changes.
