The full interview with Amy Blackshaw, CISSP, the Director of Product Marketing at RSA Security. We focus on the recent shift to a remote workforce due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Topics of the interview include the marketing hype, addressing a remote workforce and moving forward with the Coronavirus implications.

When an organization has a highly remote workforce or shifts its operations to remote working, even temporarily, they could be opening their network to many risks. One way to mitigate them is by implementing UEBA software. UEBA stands for User and Event Behavior Analytics or User and Entity Behavior Analytics, depending on who you ask.

Emergencies such as natural disasters or pandemics force organizations to take measures for establishing work-from-home procedures. One of the first security measures organizations must implement for remote work is multi-factor authentication (MFA). Multi-factor authentication is a method to protect access to corporate networks and business-critical systems, both on-premises and remotely. It requires an employee or a partner to provide at least two authentication factors to confirm his or her identity and login credentials.

In part one of our Remote Workforce Roundtable, we spoke to the larger cybersecurity trends at hand with remote working and security vulnerabilities. This time I sat down with Greg Foss from VMware Carbon Black for a more endpoint-focused discussion on remote work.

I recently interviewed leaders from a few of our partners and our Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), Jeff Marshall, to talk about the recent COVID-19 quarantine and impact to a newly expanded remote workforce.

While the world shifts to remote working in this post-COVID-19 world, there are rumblings around working from home and cybersecurity concerns. Contrary to popular belief, many organizations don’t have proper work from home capabilities or strategies in place. Some are only allowing their IT/Security staff to work remotely.

Thousands of business across the country and millions of shelter-in-place employees are taking advantage of Microsoft’s Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) to connect to remote computers, access data on in-house networked devices, and collaborate directly on a remote desktop computer.
