Working from home and the importance of endpoint security.

With the current pandemic forcing a transition to a remote, work-from-home workforce, you may not be aware of the security risks related to remote endpoints. Protecting your remote users with endpoint security is more important than ever.

Endpoint security secures desktop computers, laptops, servers and other specialised computing hardware. These devices, whilst normally on the business network are now connected via the Internet at peoples homes and off-network.

You need to make sure that someone manages and keeps those devices updated.

That’s where Gosford IT can help.

We have a number of options to help your remote team and your business get safe fast.

• Enable VPN for remote endpoints (Virtual Private Network)
  Setup VPN on your remote endpoints to allow your users to access a secure link back to the office environment.

• Patch all off-network devices
  Automate patching of your off-network devices, monitor the patch status on all machines and track the vulnerabilities that can impact your environment.

• Implement 2FA (two-factor authentication)
  2FA provides a second layer of authentication to access your applications by requiring users to provide a password (something they know) and a mobile app or token (something they have).

• Training employees in cyber-security
  With more employees now working from home than ever before, cybersecurity training is absolutely essential and can help prevent employees from falling victim to cyber attacks.

• Remote workforce cloud backup
  Cloud backup is the simplest way to back up from anywhere with internet connectivity—including WiFi, so the data on remote endpoints is covered as well.
