Employees working from home create new challenges on many fronts — including for your company’s cybersecurity preparedness. Taking a few strategic measures could make a significant impact on your company’s readiness during this time.
train your people
Companies often spend 90% of their cybersecurity budget on technologies such as firewalls and anti-virus. But it is a well-worn industry fact that between 80-90% of breaches begin with a simple phishing email. Phishing campaigns can help train your employees to become your best defense.
secure the laptops
The statistics show that some phishing attacks do succeed – how much impact would a hacked laptop represent to your organization? Don’t wait for a breach to find out. “White-hat” hackers – the good guys – can assess the potential damage before it occurs, helping you minimize and mitigate your risk.
SECURE THE CLOUD
Remote work highlights the modern business’ reliance on cloud-based applications and services. Make sure your cloud services are configured correctly to avoid inadvertently exposing sensitive data, along with other potential cloud-related vulnerabilities.
manage identities
Ensure that employees are granted access only to the resources they need to do get their jobs done. Practice the principle of “least privilege” – minimize access to sensitive data.
monitor your apps
Do you know what’s happening at your organisation at every moment? When employees work remotely the corporate network may be spread out across cities and states. Visibility from a central vantage point is more important than ever, allowing you to respond to a developing incident as quickly as possible.
