The COVID-19 pandemic has cast a spotlight on the importance of
cybersecurity for newly remote-workplaces. As the number of
teleworking employees increases, so too does an employer's
exposure to cybersecurity threats. After first ensuring that your
employees have secure internet connections at their homes, there
are additional data privacy related issues companies should
consider and steps you can take to help you safely operate their
businesses remotely.
Utilize Best Practices for Video Conferencing
Video conferencing platforms provide an efficient and convenient
means to hold meetings with remote workers. Use of the platforms
without proper safeguards, however, can expose the sensitive
information of your company to attackers. Specifically, an attacker
could enter a video call undetected and eavesdrop. A simple way to
protect your company's information from video conference
eavesdropping is to require meeting participants to enter a
password to gain admission.
