1. Make sure access is protected.<\/h2>\n\n\nEmployees need to understand how to use virtual private networks (VPNs), which allow secure connections to company networks. Password-protected Wi-Fi connections<\/a> are a must too. And every employee should be using multi-factor authentication (MFA) to log in to as many applications as possible. Single sign-on (SSO) is even better\u2014it centralizes authentication and protects credentials, giving each member of your team a single digital identity to use.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n2. Automatically roll out updates and patches for office and home computers.<\/h2>\n\n\nManaged IT services can offer businesses a wide variety of beneficial services. One of the biggest is the automatic deployment of security patches and software updates to plug security gaps. This can help prevent ransomware attacks and minimize the consequences of phishing scams and network exploits, all of which have increased since remote work became more common.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
3. Comprehensively protect your data, whether it\u2019s at rest or in transit.<\/h2>\n\n\nRemote employees need easy access to important files\u2014at the same time that businesses need to ensure all data is protected. Enterprise-grade file sync and share services can facilitate this, along with trusted data backup<\/a> solutions. Cloud-based backups are reliable and remote, storing information in multiple locations. In the event of a power failure or other emergency, that data can be retrieved and virtualized to get your business back up and running.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n4. Build extra layers of security around your business.<\/h2>\n\n\nAs cybersecurity threats evolve, so must the defenses that protect against them. At CMIT Solutions, we deploy multiple layers of security around the perimeter of your company\u2019s IT infrastructure. That starts with strong firewalls and extends into anti-virus software<\/a>, active network management, traffic monitoring, DNS filtering, and anti-spam protection. The more layers you have protecting your business, the more prepared you are to prevent attacks and mitigate problems.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n5. Invest in security training for your staff.<\/h2>\n\n\nWe like to say that your team is your first line of cyber defense. A well-educated employee who is aware of phishing schemes and security best practices can avoid small mistakes that could lead to bigger issues. And promoting awareness helps to combat the carelessness and \u201csecurity fatigue\u201d that many of today\u2019s digital employees face.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
6. Explore other remote work enhancements.<\/h2>\n\n\nThe technology resources needed to enable remote work do more than just protect your employees. Video conferencing and chat-based apps can also foster connection, clarity, and collaboration among your staff. After a long year of working from home, many of us feel isolated and disconnected from our colleagues, and those interpersonal connections are more important than ever\u2014even if they happen online.<\/p>\n
When we spend less time trying to find a file and more time actively working, we get more done. That\u2019s why it\u2019s so important to leverage the right remote work applications for your business. \u200b\u200b\u200b\u200bAt CMIT Solutions, we\u2019ve spent the last year helping our clients respond to this new reality, and we\u2019re ready to help you succeed in 2021.<\/p>\n
