Your remote workforce is at risk from cybersecurity threats. How will you protect them effectively?
Following additional things to be considered 1. Regular Software Updates: Ensure that all devices and software are kept up to date with the latest security patches and updates. This also can be achieved by a centralized patch manager. 2. Backup Data Regularly: Ensure regular backups of important data so that it can be restored in case of a ransomware attack or other data loss incidents. The data should be backed up and access to it should be on need to know basis. 3. Encourage Safe Internet Practices: Remind employees to avoid using public Wi-Fi for work-related tasks or to use secure connections if necessary. This can be achieved by customized cybersec trainings
