Manage & Audit a Remote Workforce – A Practical Guide – 15 April at 10am SAST
Our tech expert Matthew Stevens will take a deeper look into how the advanced technology can be applied to managing remote users and their devices.

“Today’s business environment calls for robust, cloud based EDR (endpoint detection and response), RMM (remote monitoring and management) and patching solutions that enable visibility and control of the corporate network”, said Jeremy Matthews, CEO of Panda Security Africa. “When you add remote workers into the mix it opens the business up to increased cybersecurity risk, making visibility and control essential,” said Matthews.

Having had to move hastily to ensure business continuity, given social distancing and lockdown imperatives, organisations may struggle to handle the complexities that come with a remote workforce. They can improve their security posture and IT resilience by implementing these measures:

Protect all endpoints with an advanced EDR solution.
Ensure the connection between your endpoint and the corporate network is secured by means of a virtual private network connection.
Implement a complex password policy and multi-factor authentication system as an added security measure.
Institute effective firewall technology and policies to protect corporate assets given the extra traffic generated by a remote workforce.
Ensure business continuity by implementing a cloud-based remote monitoring and management solution enabling monitoring and maintenance of teleworkers’ devices.
