Deloitte's US Cyber Risk Services leader, Deborah Golden, spoke with TechRepublic about the top 9 challenges she has seen enterprises face now that thousands of enterprises are weeks into the massive shift to remote work.
"The need to have these types of tools and technologies has been in organizations prior to COVID-19 but have grown exponentially in use, so the desire to have video and voice at the same time while also sharing and collecting and leveraging for work has caused some challenges that we're seeing across the board," Golden said.2.
Enterprises now have no choice but to allow employees to connect to centralized corporate networking through home devices on home networks, increasing concerns of security teams that now have to manage an exponential growth in physical, logical connections to an organization's operating environment.
"From an economy perspective, you've got more and more potential for insider threats as we see disgruntled or displaced employees and contractors, obviously with the growth in unemployment. The challenges that are faced with those individuals are increasing insider threats and are also becoming a large potential opportunity for cyber challenges in an organization," Golden added.
Golden highlighted the huge security risks enterprises face with people far away from IT teams and security parameters present in most workplaces.
