The State of Security in a Hybrid Work Environment examines attitudes and experiences from security decision makers and knowledge workers in medium-large organizations (500+ employees in the US; 250+ employees in all other markets) as the knowledge economy transitions to a long-term hybrid work strategy. Citrix, in partnership with Sapio Research, ran an independent opinion research study, interviewing 1,250 security decision makers (job titles included Manager, Senior Manager, Director and Vice President), working in large and mid-market businesses. Respondents were based in the US (413 respondents), the UK (203), France (218), Germany (209), and the Netherlands (207).

In addition,the study also polled 3,603 knowledge workers based in medium-large organizations in the US, UK, France, Germany and the Netherlands.The interviews were carried out online by Sapio Research in September 2021 via an email invitation to an online survey. A series of qualitative CISO interviews were also conducted to support the research, although the identities of participants have been anonymized.
