The corporate world is past the point of return when it comes to remote workforces, making cloud security best practices that much more important. Many organizations already have cloud security tools put in place, but remote network security isn\u2019t something you can set and forget.<\/span><\/p>

Cloud infrastructure upgrades are breaking many traditional norms found in standard network security architecture. For this article, you\u2019re getting a direct look at cloud security best practices that you can utilize today and in the foreseeable future.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Cloud Security Challenges With a Remote Workforce\n<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t

There are many upsides to working remotely, but for business owners, this opens up a whole new realm of network security risks. Employee access is just one of many focus areas that can lead to a broad number of potential weak points for cyber threats.<\/span><\/p>

On top of that, remote workers mean access from numerous environments, challenging many norms in traditional security architecture, protocols, and compliance. While there isn\u2019t a singular path to success with cloud security, following current best practices is where you should start.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Customize Cloud Security Best Practices to Your Business\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

It\u2019s true that some advice should be applied to network architecture from a universal standpoint. Outside of that, it\u2019s important you take best practices and find a way to integrate them with the needs of your business. This stands regardless of whether you\u2019re handling things in-house or working with <\/span>managed services<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>

It\u2019s never a one-size-fits-all situation. From the hardware down to the service providers and your existing security setup, there are a lot of details to consider. The best practices below are proven to be helpful for any organization looking for better security for managing 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

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

1. Multi-Factor Authentication (2FA)\n<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

This might seem rudimentary, as it\u2019s something we use on personal devices all the time, but it carries a lot more weight than you might think. If you work in network security in any regard, this will seem like a no-brainer, but multi-factor authentication shouldn\u2019t be overlooked.<\/span><\/p>

It\u2019s all about having layers in your network security architecture. However, security tools shouldn\u2019t be seen as a blanket solution. While you don\u2019t need every security tool on the market, there\u2019s a lot more to cloud security than 2FA.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

2. Secure Your Endpoints\n<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Since you\u2019re working with remote employees, there\u2019s a good chance you have a long list of endpoints to worry about. More than anything, you\u2019re looking at dealing with laptops, smartphones, and desktop computers.<\/span><\/p>

Endpoint detection and response (EDR) is a popular solution to this, commonly found in next-gen firewall options. More specifically, SonicWall network security appliances and <\/span>virtual solutions<\/span><\/a> would be a leading example of excellent support for EDR.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

3. Awareness Programs and Employee Protocols\n<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

What many businesses don\u2019t consider are accidental or intentional breaches from the inside. If everyone is on the same page about network security, threat prevention, and incident response, there\u2019s less room for error. Some of the key areas you can focus on for remote employee security training include phishing prevention, password management, and cloud application security.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

4. Regular Audits and Monitoring<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

It\u2019s easier than ever to keep an eye on every layer of your network security architecture. Remote workforce or not, modern firewalls like <\/span>Palo Alto NGFWs<\/span><\/a> and other relevant manufacturers have simplified audits and monitoring. A lot of this can be automated with today\u2019s tech, including an immense amount of transparency in traffic logs and a lot more.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

5. Ensuring Business Continuity\n<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

There are many building blocks that go into robust network security solutions, many of which are in place to support business continuity. This means minimizing the potential for downtime, which can be challenging without the right approach.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Details like access recovery protocols, backups, and cross-department communication are just as important for effective cloud security. Having eyes on every security layer is a team effort, and you need to be able to keep the business running, even in the event of a breach.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Final Thoughts\n<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
