Most people are focused on its benefits, but a remote workforce also comes with more security risks. Remote employees may access company information or resources from a variety of locations.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having the right network security solutions helps keep your organization protected, regardless of where your employees clock in from. Since the idea of remote work isn\u2019t going anywhere, many companies are having to revisit their approach to network security. In this article, get an unfiltered look at the benefits of next generation firewalls for a remote workforce.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4be3c90 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4be3c90\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h1 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Scope of Cyber Security Risks for Remote Work\n<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3f797c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3f797c7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can find a lot of upsides to remote work, but it does open up a company to more cyber security risks. A lot of this has to do with the fact that many workers are chiming in from their home networks and personal devices. In short, a company can\u2019t rely on the security of different home networks to keep their work secure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are a few other ways your company could encounter cyber security risks by using remote workers:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Decentralized access to cloud applications<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Open information due to the potential use of public Wi-Fi networks<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Difficulty maintaining uniform cyber security protocols<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Potential for added exposure to phishing attempts and ransomware<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although none of these issues are new information, you don\u2019t want to make your business more susceptible to them.

Remote security monitoring demands a few extra steps in cyber security. A good example of this would be zero-trust security measures and deep packet inspection (DPI).<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This allows you to analyze network traffic in real time while utilizing authentication layers for every single user. On top of that, AI-driven solutions are becoming more common as well. Primarily in threat detection, AI uses machine learning to stop threats from a proactive standpoint. Better yet, overall response time is heavily minimized. A remote workforce may challenge a company\u2019s network security, but NGFWs can deliver the network firewall protection you need.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e8e496b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e8e496b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Consistent and Secure Remote Access\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d19e1bc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d19e1bc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Security matters on both sides, for the business and every individual remote worker who has access to your network.
