How to stay Cyber Safe while Working Remotely

Nothing has tested emergency preparedness like the global outbreak of COVID-19, especially as it relates to how technology can help keep remote workers and distance learners productive while adhering to social distancing. Cybersecurity Executive Shira Rubinoff talks with Netsync’s Mark Lynd about how this rapid introduction to remote working solutions can lead to security issues if they’re not deployed properly. They discuss how remote workers and distance learners can ensure they don’t introduce more vulnerabilities into their digital environments, including how leaders must plan and continually communicate with employees and students to keep them not just productive, but safe. Remote working and distance learning is here to stay. It will be relied on long after we win this battle against the COVID-19 pandemic.
