Delivering Security to Distributed and Remote Operations During a Pandemic

Delivering Security to Distributed and Remote Operations During a Pandemic

  • The push to work from home has forced organizations to open up their networks to remote access, and some of the popular tools that become indispensable for enabling people to work remotely — such as video conferencing — have proven to have major security issues.
  • Security has become increasingly problematic for organizations using more traditional approaches.
  • While the overarching goal of cybersecurity has been to lock down an environment within a physical space, the future of work isn’t compatible with that strategy.
  • For instance, IT teams will be unable to keep up: Between 5G, IoT, BYOD and the increasing mobility of the workforce, it’s going to be impossible to maintain point solutions for each and every device that has some connection to the organization’s networks and other assets.
