COVID-19: Empowering Enterprises with Secure Remote Workplaces

Overview

CS Situation

The Situation

The COVID-19 pandemic, arguably the greatest human crisis of our times, has changed the way we think about business as usual.

And while the first priority for any business is to secure the health and safety of the workforce, ensuring economic sustainability is a close second.

The pandemic has restricted people from gathering in large groups due to the inherent health hazards. The result—a dramatic shift towards a remote working and work from home model.

With a WFH model, enterprises can ensure productivity and maintain operations during these trying times.

CS Impact

The Impact

Work from home will become the new normal even after COVID-19. Organizations need to step up and mitigate any and all security concerns to ensure the welfare of employees, customers, and the economy.

To ensure minimal service disruptions and optimal business continuity, scaling the work-from-home (WFH) model in a secure manner is a critical priority, but it poses a number of challenges:

  • Capacity issues on the existing infrastructure for remote connectivity in a more secured way
  • Ensuring visibility of user activity
  • Enacting a secure BYOD policy
  • Monitoring third-party access to vital systems and data
  • Employee protection from digital threats
CS Action
