Our working world has changed for good. The new normal demands a more flexible working environment for a remote workforce. But with a new way of working, comes new risks and complexities.
security Risks
Every remote worker uses a digital connection into a company’s network and therefore poses a security risk. These risks are magnified even more if workers with higher levels of access (privileged accounts) are compromised because they enable access to critical company data. Given the pace with which companies are shifting from the office to remote working, security concerns are often overlooked leading to an increase in successful cyberattacks.
It is vital to gain control over your remote workforce to ensure that the right workers have access to only the applications and company data they need, when they need it.
Assertiv Consulting have helped many customers design and implement remote working solutions that have not only met their business needs but also kept their company resources secure.
What is Remote Working?
Remote working is a flexible working style whereby staff or contractors work outside of the traditional office environment and access company resources from a computer, tablet or mobile device via an internet connection or telephone network. This may be due to flexible working conditions, freelance staff or in times where social distancing is mandatory. As we have seen in recent times, this is the new normal for many companies.

- Potential cost savings through lower overheads
- Higher employee productivity

Recommendations
Key Considerations when Enabling a Remote Workforce
Identities – are all worker’s identities (employees, contractors, suppliers) recorded in a central directory?
Applications – do workers have access to all the applications they need from a remote location?
Least Privilege Access – do workers only have permissions to access the information they need to do their job, and nothing more?
Security – are your worker’s identities and passwords safe from external threats?
Governance – do you have real-time visibility of which workers have access to what information in your organisation?
Reporting – can you generate and access meaningful audit reports when you need them?
