Businesses planning to look at remote work as a long-term strategy should take the time to reassess any "Band-aid" security solutions that may have been applied at the beginning of the pandemic and look at ways that security can be prioritized permanently.

It's very important for remote workplaces to ensure that they're regularly backing up company data to the cloud.

In the case of a data breach or ransomware attack, data can be locked down without you being able to access it, causing you to lose data on your email, content management system platforms or any number of important servers housing sensitive information.

Even with such high stakes, it seems that most companies don't have a plan in place for properly backing up and recovering data, even though a data loss event could have a moderate to major impact on their business.

While there are many solutions you can implement to keep your employees compliant and your data safe, it's also important to note that security is not a one-person job.

IT solutions go a long way in preventing security breaches and keeping your data safe if one does occur, but keeping things secure also requires the effort of your employees to stick to the tools and processes you've put in place.
