The methods and environment for conducting business are in continuous flux. Gone are the days where employees clock in for 8 consecutive hours of work at the corporate office. Your team members need and want the option to work remotely. In some cases, remote work is the only option left to ensure business continuity when office doors are closed for in-person business.
Remote working options helped many businesses safely stay afloat during the pandemic. Now, as people return to in-office work and a sense of normalcy, many organizations have elected to continue offering a remote work option, with some even deferring to remote work completely. While this offers the utmost convenience for members of your team, it presents a number of potential threats to system security for both the business end employees. The worldwide increase in remote work has prompted an increase in cyber risks, phishing attacks and other forms of system breaches.
What Can Your Company Do to Improve Security for Remote Employees?
Maintaining security when employees work remotely mitigates financial risks and losses. Working with a managed service provider that offers cybersecurity and network security solutions that keep your employees and your systems secure and safe is key.
