Fifty-one percent of UK business leaders say their shift to a cloud computing-based business model has saved their company from collapse during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to research from Centrify. Given this success, 60% of respondents are planning to substantially increase their use of cloud-based IT throughout and following the pandemic.

Almost half (48%) of business decision makers have admitted that their existing cyber security policies are currently not suitable for maintaining a 100% remote working model. This increased risk has led to nearly two thirds (65%) anticipating an increase in phishing and breach attempts, according to a new survey from Centrify, provider of Identity-Centric Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions.
