Todo o mundo While remote workforces provide many opportunities for malicious actors outside the safe confines of the office, there are some immediate fixes to uplevel organizational-wide security.
First, it's important to establish trust with users and their devices to maintain some level of confidence in who or what is accessing corporate assets.
One of the best options to establish trust with users is multi-factor authentication (MFA). Strongly authenticating users serves an important role in providing an additional level of confidence in a user's proof of identity, and it is critical during a time when companies should expect to see an influx of social engineering attacks on all employees.
Unfortunately, not all MFA is created equal and it's important for organizations to evaluate solutions to find the best balance of security, usability, and affordability for their needs. For example, software-based MFA methods such as SMS codes or mobile authenticator apps are still susceptible to phishing and often pose usability concerns.
Regardless of an organization's MFA method of choice, it is a critical component of any security strategy, and even more so with workforces that are almost entirely remote. When paired with business critical systems, especially those that help facilitate streamlined workflows, MFA can immediately improve the level of security across any company. |
