Cyber security is an ever-evolving landscape. Your data and systems should be carefully monitored, but there are always new threats changing how different areas of security must be prioritized. The following information should be helpful as you take charge of your security, including your mobile device management.
It can be challenging to make accurate predictions about enterprise security, but some of the emerging trends are due to the increased focus on work-from-anywhere technology. For example, as most companies have migrated at least some workloads to the cloud and are accessing them via a wide variety of devices, boundaries need to be set so that you’re as safe from cyber criminals as possible while equipping your employees for remote work.
Becoming More Aware
Even if your security team is proactive in addressing potential threats, it’s important to prioritize a culture of cyber security awareness. Establishing this culture requires educating everyone on the risks to the company and their individual positions, such as email phishing and the behaviors that lead to unintentional loss of company data or infiltration of various harmful viruses.
Everyone should be accountable for their actions, whether on-site or while remotely engaging with the network. If some of your employees are remote or if you have a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program or company-owned phones and other mobile devices, security education should involve best practices regarding mobile device management.
Endpoint Management
Hackers know that companies are struggling to monitor and catalog the ever-increasing number of endpoints on their networks. They exploit endpoints to launch attacks that include ransomware and malware. The problem for most companies is that there are now so many devices connected to their networks that managing endpoints is exceedingly difficult, particularly in offices where there are fleets of Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
