A secure office network does not automatically mean secure remote work.
Employees connect from hotels, airports, cafes and coworking spaces every day. The problem is that these environments introduce risks that IT teams may have little visibility or control over.
The bigger issue is often not the Wi-Fi itself. It is whether employees have clear rules and secure alternatives when they are away from the office.
Businesses should consider simple safeguards such as:
• Providing VPN access for remote devices
• Encouraging mobile hotspots for sensitive work
• Disabling automatic connection to open networks
• Making secure remote access part of employee security policies
Convenience should not become an unmanaged security decision.
How confident are you that your remote-working policies cover how employees actually connect outside the office?
