5 Ways to Make Working from Home Secure and Productive
In light of recent news surrounding COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, many employees may suddenly need to work from home. If employees can’t access applications and information securely from remote locations, their productivity will decrease and the security of key corporate assets will be at risk.
Ping Identity is prepared to help IT organizations with the following immediate steps to ensure employees can be productive anywhere in the world.
Put multi-factor authentication everywhere
52% of data breaches are due to hacking, and of those, 80% are due to weak or compromised passwords.
Leverage intelligence so that added security doesn’t add friction
As more employees work outside the corporate network, intelligent authentication helps you make better decisions about who should have access to resources. Continuously evaluate risk scores based on user behavior and location to better understand when to grant access, when to step-up authentication or when to deny access—all without impacting employees’ productivity.
Being on the network shouldn’t automatically grant access
Organizations enable VPNs for remote access, but this often allows employees to access more than they need. Since 23% of sensitive data breaches are caused by internal employees,
One password is not only more secure, it’s more productive
On average, employees spend 10.93 hours per year entering and resetting passwords.
Put digital business resources at workers’ fingertips
There’s a streamlined app for just about every business task. But employees may struggle to find all these tools—or just forget to use them now that they’re not in their usual work environment. They may also find them difficult to access, since some are on-prem and some are in the cloud. With a dock for SSO to all digital resources in one place, employees can easily find, access and use apps to get more work done from anywhere.
