As of February 2025, the landscape of remote work continues to evolve, with significant implications for workforce management and web security. In the United States, approximately 22.8% of employees, equating to over 35 million individuals, engage in remote work at least part-time.

In recent years, the hybrid work model-where employees split their time between remote and in-office work-has become a defining feature of modern workplaces. As of 2024, approximately 37% of U.S. companies have adopted a structured hybrid model, a significant increase from 20% in 2023. This shift is largely driven by employee preferences; 52% favor hybrid arrangements, while 27% prefer full-time remote work. Employers are also recognizing the benefits, with 90% of CEOs reporting cost reductions attributed to hybrid work models.
