Security News > 2022 > January > The future of security protocols for remote work

Cybercrime has been growing rapidly for years, and the sudden pandemic-fueled shift to work from home only accelerated the threat, forcing businesses to start putting a real focus on establishing solid security protocols and building a strong relationship with their cybersecurity vendors.

The WFH and hybrid work models dramatically expanded potential attack avenues for cybercriminals seeking access to corporate resources and assets.

Still, there's no question that how and where employees work has permanently shifted, and security practices must shift too.

Most businesses today use VPNs and virtual desktop infrastructure to connect remote workers, but these are insufficient solutions with gaping security holes, as several high-profile breaches have revealed.

Remote workers tend to be given full access to the corporate network.

The adoption of zero trust network access is the most effective way to improve security for all work environments, whether remote, hybrid or on-site.
