Remote work has transformed workplace dynamics but also expanded the attack surface for cybercriminals. With employees accessing corporate systems from home networks and personal devices, organizations face new security challenges.
According to a report by GoAllSecure, 95% of cybersecurity breaches are due to human error, highlighting the importance of continuous training and security awareness for remote employees.
To mitigate these risks, it's recommended to implement strong, unique passwords, enable two-factor authentication, keep software updated, and use secure Wi-Fi networks.
Additionally, establishing clear remote work policies, conducting regular security audits, and fostering a culture of cybersecurity are essential practices to protect sensitive information.
Adopting a "zero trust" security architecture and using secure remote access tools are also effective strategies to strengthen security in remote work environments.
In summary, combining appropriate technology, clear policies, and a security-oriented organizational culture is key to protecting devices and data in the context of remote work.
