Workplace priorities in 2025
We’re all about shaping and supporting modern workplaces to make sure the tech solutions you’re incorporating are serving your team in the best way possible — no matter where they are in the world. But with so many options out there, what’s really topping your priority list? According to a recent poll we did, it’s not Cloud Services and it’s not AI & Machine Learning (although 27% of you cited each respectively). As a clear winner, 45% voted, it’s cybersecurity.
What are your key cybersecurity concerns?
As tech advances at such a rapid pace, we’re seeing more and more cybersecurity risks appearing, everyday. With that, comes a huge uptick in the search for ways we can respond to, prepare for, and better still, prevent these threats from causing significant damage to a business. But before we can start looking at solutions, we need to know exactly what the risks are.
According to the Crowdstrike 2025 Global Threat Report, the top 5 cybersecurity risks are:
Social Engineering — this is activity “in which threat actors attempt to access targeted accounts or persuade legitimate employees to provide remote access to targeted systems.” Tactics include vishing (voice fishing) and help desk social engineering.
Generative AI — threat actors are increasingly using GenAI to support social engineering tactics like the ones above, as well as high-tempo IO campaigns and CNO efforts.
Cloud intrusions — more and more threat actors are starting to exploit cloud services. For example, gaining initial access via valid accounts and leveraging cloud environment management tools to steal data and information.
Exploiting network vulnerabilities — threat actors are targeting “devices in the network periphery, where traditional EDR visibility is often limited”.
Exploiting SaaS — with so many organisations migrating their data from on-premises systems to cloud-based services, threat actors are exploiting “cloud-based SaaS applications to access sensitive data and conduct lateral movement”.
Although there are some significant security challenges that come with modernising workplaces, it’s not all bad news. Just as threat actors are adapting, so too, can we.
We can't outrun the risks
But we can mitigate them. Across every step of a digital transformation. Whether that’s putting your employees through continuous security training, prioritising data protection and trust, or integrating modern cyber infrastructure.
At boxxe, we don’t just sell tech, we sell tech solutions. That means incorporating processes and systems into your hardware and software to keep you and your data safe, whilst giving you the best solutions to solve the challenges your business faces.
Whatever you’re looking to improve in your business, whether that’s productivity, communication or efficiency, cybersecurity should be built into any tech you use…
Improve communication whilst mitigating social engineering.
Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Slack… In today’s workplace having fast, efficient and secure tools is critical for keeping your team and business connected and on the same page.
We ensure whatever tool you’re using incorporates a variety of security measures, from secure email gateways and Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) to phone call verification and biometric authentication.Increase productivity with Generative AI that’s highly secure.
GenAI can be a useful tool in one’s digital workplace arsenal, thanks to software like Microsoft Copilot, Asana, Zapier and ChatGPT. But it can also be used against you, when in the wrong hands.
You can mitigate the risks and keep taking advantage of the benefits with AI-powered security tools, detection analytics and Network Monitoring Appliances, like Cisco Secure Network Analytics or Palo Alto Networks devices.Get the flexibility and scalability of cloud infrastructure without unwanted intrusions
Whether you’re looking to scale your resources based on demand, avoid the upfront costs of traditional infrastructure, reduce your carbon footprint or enable centralised data access, cloud services are becoming an integral part of a modern workplace and IT infrastructure. But adopting a cloud environment is not without its risks.
That’s why we offer tools like automated backup, granular recovery, secure cloud storage and advanced data governance — to make sure your cloud infrastructure works for you, not against you. With our Cloud-based Backup Services (BaaS) powered by Druva, our solutions ensure your data is always protected, accessible and easily recoverable.
Uplevel your digital environment without creating network vulnerabilities
So, you’ve got the latest gadgets and software to make your digital transformation complete. But the work doesn’t stop there — you need to make sure everything is fully integrated and working smoothly, including your security posture!
You can mitigate the risks of misconfigurations, weak passwords, insider threats, IoT and hardware vulnerabilities by incorporating a variety of tools and services including Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), Zero Trust network access, next-gen firewalls, and network segmentation devices.
Get next-gen cloud-based infrastructure and prevent SaaS exploitation.
If you’re looking to migrate your data to a hybrid or fully cloud environment, maintaining data integrity, consistency and security can be a challenge.
But with migration tools like Quest, we can simplify data migration into manageable processes to ensure a smooth, secure and hands-off transition. These tools incorporate robust security measures to ensure your data is protected and remains compliant.
It goes without saying that maintaining cybersecurity is a 24/7 job. But when you’re in the middle of a digital transformation, that level of protection isn’t always possible. After all, you’ve got a set budget, a limited amount of resources and team bandwidth with which to make the project happen. That’s why we often recommend incorporating a Security Operations Centre (SOC) into your cybersecurity toolkit. With a SOC, you have a team of cybersecurity experts who are responsible for preventing breaches and compromising activities by identifying, analysing, and responding to malicious threats in real time. This allows you to focus your efforts in the areas of business that matter most, safe in the knowledge that your business is well protected.

At boxxe, we believe that for every cyber threat you encounter, there’s usually a good solution - one that works with the programmes, software and hardware you’ve already got. After all, if you’re incorporating new tech into your workplace, it might as well be multi-functional — efficient, collaborative, cost-effective (or whatever other benefit you’re looking for!) and secure.
