Security News > 2020 > November > Defining Security Policies to Manage Remote Insider Threats

Insider threats from employees and others given access to the network were more easily monitored because they were always connected in some capacity, and so malicious activity could be easily detected.

Organizations must define long-term policies for how employees access company-owned assets, especially if they intend to allow employees to work from home indefinitely.

Such policies should include restricting access by role, as well as other security measures like requiring employees to be connected to the corporate VPN. But these policies should be determined thoughtfully.

Regardless of the complexities that each organization faces, one thing is clear: Every company must have a robust security policy that considers remote employees.

Without an official security policy in place, organizations will not have a way to identify new threats and properly attack them, and employees will be left in the dark about best practices for accessing and using corporate resources from home.
