Automated Device Management is Reducing Burnout and Closing the IT Skills Gap

There is no doubt that the sudden rise of remote work and often hasty uptake of cloud communications tools has expanded the threat landscape.

Remote employees may not have an adequate understanding of cybersecurity best practices, providing an opportunity for threat actors, leaving endpoints and data vulnerable. In addition, hiring and onboarding new staff members can and is often done remotely.

Traditional Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions are not designed for use beyond four walls. A new solution and way of thinking is needed moving forward.

Burnout in the IT industry is increasing at an alarming rate.

The relentless nature of ongoing and rapidly evolving cybersecurity threats, in addition to the day-to-day IT management and supporting staff in the office and remotely, have played a role in IT staff burnout.

A recent report found that the mental health of cybersecurity professionals is suffering. Another study found that tech workers are heading toward a “burnout crisis” with “two in five employees wanting to quit due to excessive stress, exhaustion, and a broken work-life balance.”

IT professionals need the support necessary to ensure business IT security needs are met and keep data secure.

Did you know that 63% of IT Managers say resources drained by device management could be used on other strategic IT projects¹, and 91% of IT teams felt pressured to compromise security if it benefited business continuity²?

Closing the IT skills gap with powerful automations and support capabilities is the key to overcoming internal resource strain and burnout, allowing precious IT resources to focus on business-critical tasks and wider strategic initiatives.
