There is a lot of uncertainty around where we are headed, both individually and corporately, as we watch, for most of us, one of the most impactful events of our lives unfold day after day. We each have the responsibility to do our part in flattening the curve and, for many organizations, that means implementing alternative work arrangements. My thoughts go out to IT professionals across the globe scrambling to ensure our workforce can access the resources it needs to best continue business operations. In this brief blog, I want to discuss ways to ensure security of remote infrastructure during this transitional time.

As a former network administrator and IT Manager, I’ve spent most of my IT career defending networks from the bad guys along with keeping the daily IT ship afloat. Take that and add a couple projects and helpdesk tickets and you’ve got yourself a never ending to-do list. It’s not an easy job to say the least, and sometimes you can’t help but wonder if you and your team have the all bases covered on the security front.
