How to secure the hybrid workplace?
Hybrid working is the future for many organizations. But how do you make sure your employees can work safely and effectively from both the office and home? Read it here.
Collaborate safely and quickly
Working outside the corporate network has become the new standard. People are increasingly using devices and collaboration tools that are not under the control of your organization. Cloud applications, which reside outside the boundaries of the corporate network, are especially popular. Moreover, in addition to internal employees, external parties, partners, customers and suppliers also need access to company data. If your organization does not have sufficient visibility into these types of identities, it makes your organization vulnerable to cyber incidents.
For example, does your organization know if:
- Is the person who logs in really the person he says he is?
- Does this person only have access to items that are necessary for his job?
- Is the person's behavior typical or unusual?
Digital identity is key for security and agility
It is important to have insight into how identities within your organization use their rights. Especially since the number of types of identities within organizations has increased significantly. The digital identity, a collection of reliable data with which an entity (person, organization, object or device) can identify itself digitally, is thus leading in increasing your digital resilience and thus the agility of your organization.
If you do nothing
You certainly don't want the door to be open to hackers. Nevertheless, since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic there has been a significant increase in cyber incidents. The Cyber Risk Report 2021 from Forrester and Tenable shows that 74% of organizations attribute cyber incidents to remote working. This is due to the use of cloud applications, but also to the lack of awareness of employees working from home.
