Are You Ready for the Remote Work’s Toll on Corporate Security?
The State of Security
Given the situation that many companies, organizations and government agencies have been forced into working remotely due to COVID-19, it is imperative to give some thought about corporate security.
USING A VPN FOR NEW STAY-AT-HOME WORKERS
Millions of employees are now working from the confines of their own homes in an effort to keep businesses running smoothly. In most situations, employees are told to use their existing laptop computer or are issued one to use at home. They are also provided with a virtual private network (VPN) connection for connectivity to their respective places of employment. This makes for a valiant effort to keep critical corporate, organizational or governmental information secure.
But just how secure is it? VPN connections generally provide a good secure encrypted session to a workplace facility. (Many of these VPN tools utilize two-factor authentication, as well.) The VPN connection forces all external communication to traverse the workplace facility before being allowed out onto the “wild” open Internet.
