BrandPost: Considerations for Addressing Additional Security Needs for Remote Workers |
Texte |
By now, most organizations responding to the current global pandemic have already moved their workforce to their homes using a secure remote worker system that includes an endpoint VPN client, online teleconferencing systems, and a headend VPN concentrator. But getting workers up and running is not the same thing as making sure that they, and the corporate assets they need to access remotely, have been properly secured.There has been a massive spike in coronavirus-focused attacks over the past couple of weeks. Cybercriminals are intentionally targeting not just teleworkers, but even their children who are now being schooled at home using e-learning, to compromise home networks. Their goal is to exploit this new attack vector by taking advantage of novice teleworkers and any gaps in security resulting from a rushed transition to a new networking model. Poorly secured home devices and network, combined with overwhelmed head-end VPN termination systems and corporate resources that have rarely, if ever, been accessed remotely, is a formula for disaster. |
