Companies are now facing uncharted territories and sending their workforce to work from home. While scrambling to get everyone what they need to perform their duties, a lack of planning and rushed decisions compromise the efforts to secure the organization–and its devices, data, and employees.
-
What devices are employees using to perform their work duties–personal or corporate?
-
What applications, software, and OS' are running–are they unpatched, unsupported, or outdated?
-
How do employees get access to on-premise resources?
-
What is happening to the organization's data–is it downloaded (and stored) to personal devices or sent to private e-mail addresses?
-
What applications are in use–is the 'remote worker' situation starting shadow IT practices?
-
Who is accessing your corporate devices–are they being shared by kids or others in the household?
-
What network-security practices are in place–and are employees using VPN as instructed?
-
Are employees using password managers and 2FA?
-
Are employees vigilant for phishing attempts?
