| Titre | Remote workers making mobile management and security first priority |
| Texte | Your employees are remote, are your endpoints protected? In recent years, many businesses had already begun planning for a gradual shift towards an increasingly remote workforce, yet fewer had implemented a mobile-first strategy, and some were still formulating strategies. At a gradual pace, IT administrators could handle a small percentage of remote workers and saw the management features of device enrollment programs and network security measures as enough to manage a few remote devices and cyber risks. Enter the new reality of 2020 and a sudden, unplanned thrust towards an almost entirely remote workforce: many businesses have been scrambling to mobilize; employees are using personal devices to stay connected to work; and IT administrators are straining to keep up with the huge influx of managing and protecting devices. Whereas at the start of 2020, manual device management processes and little, if any, mobile security may have been good enough, the almost-instant change in circumstances makes manual device management cumbersome and a lack of robust mobile security controls leaves businesses exposed to cyber risk. Now more than ever, businesses must move quickly to assess and adapt for resiliency across their entire ecosystem, especially their remote and mobile workforces. Unified endpoint security should be one of the top priorities. Hearing the term “endpoint,” one primarily thinks of a laptop or desktop. However, endpoints are really anything connected to the company network or the internet. This includes mobile phones, smartphones, tablets, servers, and even specialized hardware such as Point of Sale (POS) systems and other Internet of Things devices. And in this current environment, it also means corporate-owned and bring your own devices (BYOD) as well as various operating systems. Ultimately, this suggests that “endpoint security” encompasses many unique variables that need to be managed. Implementing an industry-leading Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) solution is paramount given these circumstances. UEMs onboard, deploy, configure, and enroll devices so that the workforce can get up and running quickly. They help devices stay compliant with industry- and company-mandated regulations. UEMs today are also able to do advanced IT management actions like view or remote in on a device as if they had the device in their hand to help troubleshoot issues. All key capabilities when the IT manager can’t be in the same room as the device. UEM describes only the management aspects of unified endpoint security. Businesses must also consider the security elements needed to protect endpoints from advanced cyber threats. Endpoints have a huge target on them for cyber criminals with 70% of breaches originating on the endpoint. Cyber criminals recognize that endpoints are an effective way to launch an attack. Recent mobile device testing revealed up to 25% of employees are fooled into clicking phishing links. Although businesses recognized |
