“As we move forward with increasingly complex and fragmented business models, it’s crucial to fully assess and protect business assets from new and emerging cybercrimes. The goal is to prevent a wide array of online threats and attacks, including data breaches, ransomware attacks, identity theft, hacking at home, business, Cloud and hybrid Cloud locations and online predators. Work with cybersecurity professionals who understand the increased threats in our new, post-COVID world, and can increase security to mitigate risk,” said Paul Caiazzo, SVP at cybersecurity company Avertium, in the article.
Safeguards include:
- Adoption of split-tunnel VPNs (virtual private networks) that enable greater scalability as a larger percentage of the workforce works remote.
- Use of a cloud-based Zero Trust network to improve security and visibility into remote workforce device activity. Read this Hikvision article on using a Zero Trust network to reduce security concerns.
