Orgs Have A Long Way To Go In Securing Remote Workforce
DARK Reading, March 13th, 2023
Organizations recognize that they are responsible for protecting remote workers from cyber threats, but they have a long way to go in deploying the necessary security technologies.
Remote work, or work from anywhere, is the reality for most organizations. However, organizations are still in the early stages of implementing security technology to accommodate the remote workforce, according to a recent report from Fortinet.
The insecurity of home networks, employees using company laptops for personal use, and compromised family devices infecting an employee's work device are considered to be the top security risks around work-from-anywhere, the company found in its "2023 Work-From-Anywhere Global Study." Just shy of three-quarters of respondents (71%) of respondents said the responsibility for protecting home offices falls on the corporation and service providers.
