on Cybersecurity in a remote-working world
Practice must evolve to ensure regulatory compliance Helena Nimmo , CIO at Endava , suggests that hybrid working is often addressed in soundbites , leaving the true complexities of working from anywhere unaddressed , especially security . “ As working away from the office is now the norm and employees work in coffee shops , co-working spaces , and other places with non-secure networks , businesses are faced with a myriad of new cybersecurity threats .”
After all , she adds : “ Many compliance certifications were developed with the assumption that the majority – or indeed all – individuals were working inside an office space . As this has changed , practices must also evolve to ensure regulatory compliance . While these changes might involve a reboot of policies and tools to better mitigate risk , solid processes , not just entirely new technology , should be the focus for businesses .”
