Why Hybrid Work Security Matters Now
-
Hybrid work is rising: U.S. hybrid adoption was 55 % among remote‑capable employees in early 2023 (WIRED).
-
Security gaps are multiplying: Hybrid setups expose businesses to unsecured networks, personal devices, and data leakage (empmonitor.com).
-
Employee monitoring concerns: Increased surveillance with tools known as “bossware” raises privacy and trust issues, with 70 % of large employers expected to monitor staff by 2025 (WIRED).
What Is Cloud-Native Video Surveillance and Why It Wins
What Defines “Cloud-Native”?
Cloud‑native architecture—built on containers, microservices, and automation—enables systems that are resilient, scalable, and easily manageable (Wikipedia).
Benefits of Cloud-Native Video Surveillance
