Work from Home – WFH – Are you secured?

Work From Home – WFH. the new Normal for employee and Small, Medium or Large Enterprise. Working From Home is going to be part of the Work culture for quite some time now.

While many businesses switched to Work from home amazingly fast, some businesses took time and some still are figuring out ways to do so.

Employees must work for a business to run and earn. With limited or no access to office resources business and employee find it difficult to work from home. Plus, everyone cannot keep interacting over phone for entire day long nor flood inboxes with emails.

Businesses need to choose right solutions which fits to their needs, budget and is secured.

Security has become a big concern along with the pandemic. Many organizations across globe whether they were small businesses or large enterprises / Government organizations. All faced this issue. Some to a great extent like getting infected by ransomware and had to pay the ransom to get data back and some with data loss or disruption in services.

Some employees enjoy Working from home, while some hate to work from home. But they surely like one thing they don’t have to travel in the crowded trains, buses, and metros in the metro cities to reach office.

Some do feel happy to work while being with family (those you had to leave their city to work in metro’s) but some hate the new culture of working more than 8 hours as they are now accessible 24×7.

Leaving the employee sentiments apart.

I been asking every CIO / CTO / CISO I been meeting. since last 1+ year about do they feel their enterprise network is secured?

No one has a confirm answer. Everybody is wishing and hoping their network is safe.

Before these businesses fall prey to malware, Trojan, or ransomware they need to do a thorough security audit of their enterprise network and Endpoints.

Identity theft has become easier for the hackers using Social Engineering has become common. Employees every fall prey to phishing emails and websites mostly because they don’t have any prior security awareness training.
