APJ | Privileges & Pajamas: The Security Impact of Remote Working

The pandemic touched our lives on different levels in 2020, causing enormous changes to lifestyles and workplaces. The cybersecurity industry was no exception. Remote working exploded, seemingly overnight, leaving many organizations vulnerable and ill-prepared.

These developments are expected to fundamentally transform the way we work for the long term, in a hybridized future of work. To understand the true impact of remote working on security, we’ll review what’s changed, what hasn’t, and why a blend of remote, mobile, and in-office workers creates unique security concerns.

Join Diana Kelley, CTO of SecurityCurve in this upcoming session where she will explore how organizations are adjusting their plans in response the risks caused by remote work and provide recommendations for the best long-term solutions.

She'll also cover:

• The COVID effect on cybersecurity and security considerations for safer remote working
• Security requirements for a hybrid workforce
• How to limit the attack surface for privileged access
• The core elements of a successful privileged identity management program for the hybrid workforce: including credential rotation, just-in-time (JIT) access controls, privilege escalation, and granular audit capabilities
