Using Zero Trust Solutions to Support Hybrid Work
The hybrid workspace revolution has boosted productivity across countless organizations. But it has also presented security challenges for IT pros. Security policies have needed to change quickly to meet the challenges presented by cybercriminals. Download this infographic to see how Zero Trust solutions provide an ideal framework to protect employees no matter where they work.
What is Zero Trust in the context of hybrid work?
Zero Trust is a security framework that assumes no one, whether inside or outside the organization, can be trusted by default. In the context of hybrid work, this means recognizing that employees' home environments are not secure by default. As employees work from home, they may inadvertently expose sensitive information, making it crucial to implement higher security measures and frequent verification to protect company data.
What security measures should be considered for remote work?
Organizations should reconsider traditional security measures such as firewalls, device login protocols, and physical security. Implementing home VPNs, ensuring secure password practices, and using hardware like fingerprint scanners can help establish trust. Additionally, providing employees with appropriate tools and training can enhance security without compromising their work experience.
How can companies enhance security in home networks?
To enhance security in home networks, companies can encourage practices such as using locked safes for sensitive documents, employing endpoint isolation for user tasks, and implementing physical security measures like webcam shutters. Regular network evaluations for malware prevention and ensuring full-stack integrity of PC platforms can also help reduce the attack surface and improve overall security.
