From mobile security threats to unauthorised access to files, recent cyber-attacks shed light on an increasing problem. These online assaults may affect multiple networks and computers. It disables programs and steals data. Cyber-attacks may also use your remote workers’ computers to launch additional attacks. Cyber-risks include reputational damage, financial loss, and disruption to business operations.

To manage cyber-risk, it’s necessary to adapt the three tenets of information security to remote working environments, as every threat to security is not necessarily malicious. Major security breaches have been caused by well-intentioned users, which is why security training is essential. Access to data should be given to users on the principle of least privilege, which means that the level of access given to users should be confined to what they need to accomplish their duties.

Infrastructure plays a crucial role in data confidentiality, so now that data is accessible in more places, professionals are under pressure to address their approach to cybersecurity and regulatory compliance standards while people remote work. As organisations increasingly move away from the concept of office space and consider remote working a longer-term or more integrated solutions, IT teams need to ensure infrastructure en security meet long-term remote working business requirements.
