Organisations Must Use Cyber Security Tools For Remote Working

Remote working is becoming the new norm for many organisations,and even after the virus has a medical remedy, many believe this is going to be, at least partially, the new way of working. This has advantages for many organisations as it will reduce office costs and often employees get more work done at home. 

Even though remote working has real opportunities, there are serious advantages and opportunities for cyber criminals. 

Employees who work remotely are connecting to their employer’s networks from their home networks and these systems are more vulnerable than an office networks as these are usually protected by sophisticated hardware, software and network infrastructure.

Your employees home networks may also be connected to smart-refrigerators, kids’ video game systems and smart TVs that access the Internet.  Nevertheless, there are things you can do to reduce the criminal options, effects and future crime opportunities.

• First, complete a full cyber audit and then reasonably frequently have audits of aspects of your IT security and monitor the effects on home working.

• Second, ensure all staff and management have regular cyber security training which can be done on-line and is very effective and reasonably frequent in its monitoring and up-grades of the training.

• Third, ensure your management comprehend the cyber security issues and engage with your IT team to ensure they monitor how your systems are being used and if breached reducing the damage and ensuring new security is quickly in place.
