The shift to remote work has accelerated "Shadow IT," where employees use unauthorized devices and software without security oversight, creating significant vulnerabilities. Research reveals that 68% of remote workers prioritize cost over security when purchasing devices, while 43% completely bypass IT involvement, exposing organizations to breaches, compliance gaps, and unmanaged risks. To address these challenges, HP Wolf Security and Intel vPro® offer comprehensive solutions that provide endpoint visibility, automated threat containment, and remote management capabilities for decentralized workforces.
