TechRepublic’s Karen Roby spoke with James Christiansen, VP and CSO of Netskope, about cybersecurity concerns with the gig workforce. The following is an edited transcript of their conversation.
Karen Roby: We talk about the gig workforce. We’re seeing so many people working in such a different way now. The problem with that is cybersecurity becomes a big issue. Let’s talk a little bit about how big of an issue this is because, I mean, again, the gig workforce is just growing exponentially.
James Christiansen: It’s crazy, Karen. Actually, that’s what got me really interested in this subject was the first time I looked at some of the stats, they were unbelievable. I mean, 52% of the participants are from the pandemic. So as people lost their jobs, they went to the gig workforce. What absolutely was stunning to me when I looked at, greater than 90% of the U.S. People polled said they would do a gig job.
