Overcome Hybrid Workforce Cyber Security Challenges with Multi-layered Approach

NYC area cyber security expert explains hybrid workforce cyber security challenges, common attack vectors, and zero trust network security—in a new article from eMazzanti Technologies

HOBOKEN, N.J., June 21, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A NYC area cyber security expert explains how to overcome hybrid workforce cyber security challenges in a new article. The informative article first asserts that most workplaces in the United States support a hybrid workforce, presenting new challenges for cyber security.

The author then details six hybrid workforce cyber security challenges, including expanded attack surfaces, vulnerable hardware, and a shortage of cyber security talent. She continues by identifying susceptibility to phishing attacks, poor data practices, and disconnected security solutions as additional challenges. She concludes by discussing common attack vectors and the zero-trust network security model as part of a multi-layered security solution.

"As the nature of work continues to evolve, companies need to adjust their hybrid workforce cyber security to protect vital business assets," stated Jennifer Mazzanti, CEO, eMazzanti Technologies.

Below are a few excerpts from the article, "Overcome Hybrid Workforce Cyber Security Challenges with Multi-layered Approach."

Hybrid Workforce Cyber Security Challenges

"Even as the world moves out of pandemic mode, the nature of work has changed in fundamental ways. While the number of fully remote employees continues to drop, many companies remain committed to hybrid work for the foreseeable future. This means that organizations must address the ongoing challenges of securing that workforce."

Common Attack Vectors

"Compromised credentials and social engineering top the list of typical attacks. This includes phishing and business email compromise (BEC). Hackers will also frequently exploit vulnerabilities in third-party software. And they will find entry points to insert ransomware and other malware."

"To counter these threats and strengthen hybrid workforce cyber security, organizations need to take a multi-layer approach. This includes tools from multi-factor authentication (MFA) to endpoint protection, improved email security and more. To defend against targeted and sophisticated attacks, a zero-trust strategy proves essential."

Zero Trust Network Access

"In the zero-trust model, organizations address risk by taking a "never trust, always verify" approach to extending access. With effective zero trust, the system grants access to services based on contextual factors from the user and their device. Trust is established when a service or resource is accessed, and revoked when the access is no longer needed or authorized."
