Remote working has been the norm in the IT industry for a while now. However, it gained popularity around the world since the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. During this time, most companies adopted a remote working approach with a work-from-home policy. In the IT market, remote working, or hiring remote resources has been a practice since almost a decade. With the increase in adoption of such policies, there has been a sudden rise in cybersecurity issues. Cyber threats lure around the internet and wherever there are any vulnerabilities, the hacktivists attack the target as soon as possible.
What are Remote working issues of today?
During the 2020 pandemic, there were many incidents reported from various organizations about cybersecurity issues like zoom bombing, video conferencing attacks, and many other like Microsoft Azure AD attacks.
The 4 Steps to Overcome Remote Working Security Issues
Whether your cloud business is a remote working based business or not, you need to keep your employees and yourself safe from modern cyberattacks. Here are popular tips to overcome Remote Working Security issues:
Invest in “Zero Trust” Security
Zero Trust security means trusting no one with confidential information. At the core of this approach is the Multi Factor Authentication mechanism. With this, employees can prove their identity and you can make sure the information you are sending is actually reaching the employee and not any hacktivist.
Get Services from Pen testers
Penetration testing is an activity where white hat hackers penetrate into the system in order to find the possible vulnerabilities that exist. Thus, they figure out the maximum possible areas from where the systems can be attacked. This means maybe a firewall malfunctioned, or not configured properly, there are a few open backdoors open from the last attack etc.
Train your Employees
This is the prime step that should be taken by all companies who have remote workers in their organizations. Phishing is still considered as the most common threat. Hacktivists try to trick employees into clicking malicious links that they receive in emails or download attachments that are actually malicious .exe files.
Ensure an organization-wide Security policy
A Cybersecurity policy is important for every company of today. Employees must adhere to a cybersecurity policy. A security policy must contain the best in line security methods to be deployed across the organization.
