How to fortify your IT security in times of uncertainty—and beyond googlecloud
Companies that are managing change successfully are doubling-down on key security initiatives and pushing out the rest.With the spread of COVID-19, businesses have faced new challenges. Needless to say, many enterprises are rethinking how they’ve been doing work and what that work will look like. In fact, according to Fugue’s recent, 83% of companies surveyed are transitioning to 100% distributed teams.
Instead, companies that are managing change successfully are doubling-down on key security initiatives and pushing out the rest. Determine what’s changed in the world, how it affects your operations, and then prioritize controls and capabilities that help deal with that change. One of the most fundamental and painful changes for many organizations has been the sudden shift from a 5%–10% remote workforce to a 100% remote team. The systems needed to handle it often aren’t in place.

Enforcing this gets much more difficult when everyone is working from home, often on a single machine.
