| Titre | Security policies for your remote workforce |
| Texte | This blog was written by an independent guest blogger. Current events are driving dramatic changes to many business industries around the planet. One of the most notable shifts is how the office-based framework for employees transformed to a remote workforce environment. Remote working has now become the norm for many enterprises and organizations worldwide. While the remote working environment is not new in the market, it has gained momentum because of the current pandemic. Many people are now turning their home to be their extended office. However, as this happens, many security challenges are also following suit. One of the many concerns businesses face is the lack of a security framework for the remote workforce scenario. Most organizations' design is to operate in a 9-5 work hour office setting, which makes the sudden change more challenging. It is vital to ensure that your company will not be compromised as you continue to lean in on the new norm on the working landscape. It would be best to implement security policies that will ensure safety and will not make your hard-earned business susceptible to attacks. Security policies you need to implement for your remote workforce As you move your team into becoming a remote workforce, here are some security policies you can consider implementing to make your business attack-resistent. 1. Implement two-factor authentication This first policy may sound basic, but two-factor authentication (2FA) is a strong defense against attacks on your remote workforce. Having 2FA means adding another security layer that will make it harder for hackers and cybercriminals to compromise your remote workers. This security feature can help lower the chance of losing your data to hackers, experiencing fraud, or even identity theft. Failing to establish this security check can be catastrophic. 2FA can be an excellent way to shield your business and business' information, so make sure you require your remote team to implement this in their corporate email, and other work they are doing from home, such as editing the company website, and other applications that they need to access to do their work. 2. Require strong passwords Passwords can be the first line of defense from any possible attacks. They can protect a website, essential data, and, eventually, the whole business in the long run. It is a must strategy to ensure that any system is always protected. Having a 2FA should never be an excuse to use a birthday, a name, or even a pet's name for a password. No one should be lax enough to use a password that is easily guessed by anyone. Leaning on these weak and easy-to-access passwords can easily make cybercriminals infiltrate any system they target. Password re-use is especially problematic. To be sure your business is protected well, require your remote workforce to have robust passwords. Having complex passwords can help protect the system, the company website, or other related accounts. Make sure that their passwords consist of upper and lower cases, specials characters, numbers, and at least 16 letters long. 3. Lean on VPN Virtual Private Network or VPN is another way to protect your remote workforce team from attacks. It allows them to connect to networks reduced risk of having hackers pry on their connection. VPN works by providing a tunnel for your device as it connects to the internet. It can hide your essential data by encrypting it, thus making it unreadable for someone trying to intercept w |
