Inside Information from Our Team of Experts
What cybersecurity training or awareness programs should businesses implement for their employees?
"To bolster the security of remote employees' devices, a comprehensive strategy must be in place, encompassing vital components such as Mobile Device Management, Zero Trust Network Access, Data Encryption, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and Cyber Security Awareness training. Social Engineering and poorly implemented BYOD (bring your own device) practices are two of the more prominent threats to your company’s security posture. With adherence to effective policy and the implementation of enforced cybersecurity controls, you can substantially mitigate the risks associated with a distributed workforce."
— Carl Gallicchio, Manager, IT Operations
