Keeping critical assets safe when teleworking is the new norm

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has upended almost every aspect of our lives – and work is no exception. With social distancing protocols in effect across the world, tele-commuting (or remote work), has suddenly become the norm for many, rather than the exception. And the flexibility offered by remote work is a major benefit. There are many advantages to remote working. Yet our new professional reality also comes with fresh challenges. Perhaps none of these is more important than the need to safeguard critical corporate assets within an information security landscape that has been profoundly altered, almost overnight, says Gus Evangelakos of XM Cyber.
