Protecting Business Information Assets In The "Work From Home" Environment

This past March, many organizations were forced to suddenly pivot to a "work from home" environment ("WFH") as COVID-19 spread across our country. However, many companies did not have the necessary technical infrastructure in place to support their full workforce on a WFH basis. Often, remote access systems were configured assuming only a portion of a company's employees - not 100% of a company's employees - would be remotely accessing the corporate networks simultaneously. In addition, many employees have limited home Wi-Fi capacity that is insufficient to sustain extended, robust connections with the office systems. Networks can then become overloaded, connections dropped, and employees can experience extended latency issues, frozen transmissions and the like.
