    With the dominance of remote and hybrid work, security teams must review their infrastructure to protect their organizations from security breaches, malware, and even employee behavior online. The ability to remotely monitor endpoints and machines while keeping teams productive, collaborating, and learning from anywhere is also a top priority.

    Whether it’s finding the right tools to enable productive remote work or delivering IT support, organizations are looking to strike the right balance between remote access and security. The challenge is that virtual tasks and security demand more from IT teams. With the average cost of a data breach costing 4.4M USD in 2025, and recovery taking more than 100 days on average, according to IBM’s 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report, organizations need access to the right tools to defend their organizations from cyberattacks.

    Cybersecurity trends and risks

    Cyber attacks are increasing, with remote IT environments being especially vulnerable. A recent report predicts that cybercrime costs will reach $10.5 trillion globally by 2025, up from $3 trillion in 2015—underscoring the need for strong security, particularly for remote work setups.

    The source of attacks are both technology-related and a result of human error, with 68% of breaches linked to unintentional human actions, including falling for phishing, social engineering, or weak passwords. On the tech side, outdated software, unpatched flaws, and misconfigured systems also leave organizations exposed.

    Powering remote access and driving IT efficiencies

    Technology Advisors who help companies navigate the new state of IT in a remote world are in the best position to build customer loyalty and expand business growth.

    John Bennett, SVP & GM of Identity and Access Management at LogMeIn, explains: “Staying ahead of ever-changing security threats is one of the biggest challenges IT teams face today.
