Securing Your Remote Workforce

The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the shift to remote work, significantly changing how businesses handle and think about security. With employees working from varied environments that are generally more vulnerable, companies must rethink their approach to security. Proactive preparedness activities, such as tabletop exercises and external penetration testing, are key to staying ahead of challenges and threats. The zero trust model has become essential due to remote working being here to stay, with devices and people becoming the new perimeter. Monitoring is critical but must be done thoughtfully, considering privacy concerns and data collection. Endpoint security is also crucial, as employees' devices are now the edge of the network. COVID-19 has created a catalyst for building security awareness in companies, which can lead to improved security posture if workforce health is prioritized. Companies should focus on both remote access security and endpoint security, with solutions like Twingate providing easily configurable, granular access and visibility over the enterprise network.
