A Huntress survey of 227 US IT professionals reveals that while 61% of organizations cite cybersecurity concerns as a factor in return-to-office decisions, over 90% of cybersecurity professionals are actually confident in their ability to protect data in remote and hybrid environments.

The post outlines five remote work security best practices: regular cybersecurity training, VPN usage, MFA enforcement, encrypted password managers, and creating a remote-specific cybersecurity policy. A Huntress expert suggests cybersecurity concerns may sometimes be used to justify RTO decisions rather than reflecting genuine risk.
