Organisations face numerous security challenges across the entire lifecycle of their endpoint devices, leading to vulnerabilities, lost money and even a growing e-waste problem.
This is leading to costly security headaches, management overheads and inefficiencies further down the line.– One-third say a PC, laptop or printer supplier has failed a cybersecurity audit in the last five years, with 18% saying the failure was so serious that they terminated their contract. And 60% of ITSDMs say the lack of IT and security involvement in device procurement puts the organisation at risk.
52% of ITSDMs say procurement teams rarely collaborate with IT and security to verify suppliers’ hardware and firmware security claims. 78% of ITSDMs want zero-touch onboarding via the cloud to include hardware and firmware security configuration to improve security.Almost half of WFA workers who had a device delivered to their home complained that the onboarding and configuration process was disruptive.
49% of employees have sent their laptop to be repaired, and say this took over 2,5 days to fix or replace the device, forcing many to use their personal laptop for work, or to borrow one from family or friends – blurring the lines between personal and professional use. 57% cannot analyze the impact of past security events on hardware and firmware to assess devices at risk.
