Remote Working Security Assessment
What Is a Remote Working Security Assessment?
A remote working security assessment is a focused evaluation to assess an organization’s cybersecurity posture.
It detects weaknesses in remote access, employee practices, device security, and cloud infrastructure.
Key Areas Assessed Include:
- Remote Access Tools: Examining the security of VPNs, cloud-access systems, and Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).
- Data Protection: Ensuring remote data is encrypted and securely stored or transmitted.
- Employee Behavior: Reviewing practices such as password use and phishing awareness.
- Endpoint Security: Evaluating both personal and corporate devices used by remote staff.
Why Does Remote Work Security Matter for Organizations?
Remote work expands the attack surface of your company. Personal devices and home networks usually do not have security protocols that exist in the enterprise environment.
According to Lookout, 32% of remote employees use unauthorized apps, and 92% rely on personal devices for remote work. This exposes an organization to additional cybersecurity threats.
