"How to Deploy Zero Trust for Remote Workforce Security"

As the number of workers who want to work remotely rise, more organizations are turning to zero trust to secure and monitor these remote workers. Many of the essential elements of a remote security policy are also aspects of a zero-trust strategy, such as strong passwords, implementing two-factor authentication, and limiting access to sensitive data to only those who need it. Here's what a zero trust approach looks like for the remote workforce.

With remote workers an increasingly important part of the workforce, enterprises will need to invest in new remote collaboration and communication tools, including  advances in virtual and augmented reality technologies. That means chief information security officers can no longer rely on a security strategy that is held together with VPNs, baling wire, and bubble gum — they need a long term strategy that will protect remote workers and the organization’s data and systems.

That’s good news for workers, but security managers will  be busy testing and security these new technologies, and  protecting the organization regardless of where its people  work. That’s why zero trust requires users — both human and machine — to be properly and regularly authenticated and continuously monitored. Zero trust requires three capabilities to be in place across the remote and on-premises environment: 

• Continuous authentication; Least privilege; Network segmentation; and Continuous monitoring.
• Organizations need to have a flexible and proactive remote cybersecurity strategy:
• assess your risk
• secure remote workers' devices and access
• Protect data
• Secure network traffic
• Build an incident response plan.
• Deliver security awareness training to users
• conduct regular security reviews.
