In my area it seems everybody wants some kind of web app or VPN. In the good old days things like file sharing and inventory management could be done on the LAN but with COVID everybody is scattered all over the place. My clients have this expectation that they'll be able to use any random smartphone to scan a QR-code in the Phillipines and have that magically publish inventory updates to accountants Texas. Everybody wants to bring their own phone or computer. Everyone wants all their data to be accessible through the web. It's chaos I tell you, and a security nightmare to boot.

Personally I think of the web as a highway: great place for a billboard, not such a great place to be storing or mutating sensitive information.
