In todayโs world, almost gone are the days of brick and mortar work environments. The new norm is remote or flexible work arrangements. As companies make this transition, ensuring the security of mobile devices and data is essential.
At Pell Software, we understand the critical role that enterprise mobility solutions play in creating capable remote teams while also securing sensitive information. How can a remote business enhance mobile security while ensuring productive workflow?
Letโs dissect the best practices and technologies that secure information while setting remote teams up for efficient work times.
Mobile Security and Productivity
Security can be seen as a necessary burden for remote business owners. Even though maintaining security may produce challenges, when done correctly, mobile device security enhances productivity rather than hindering it.
Secure systems reduce downtime caused by security breaches, help to streamline authentication processes ensuring employees are working without frustration and allow remote employees to access company and client information securely. Proactively ensuring your business is secure will create a reliable and productive work environment.
Ways To Keep Remote Workforces Secure
Implement a Comprehensive Mobile Device Management (MDM) Solution
An MDM Solution is one of the most pivotal strategies for securing a remote team. In short an MDM is a set of organizationally used tools that ensure mobile device security through management and monitoring of the mobile devices used by employees of the business. Having an MDM Solution allows business owners to have remote access to ensure security.
If an employeeโs device is lost or stolen, an MDM solution allows business owners to remotely wipe data, giving them peace of mind and control over their digital infrastructure. Other features such as enforcing business mobile security policies and securing containerization to separate work and personal data ensure confidence in a business’s remote work environment.
Mobile Threat Defense (MTD) Solutions
Unfortunately, in a business world that is increasing its remote work opportunities, the digital threats for businesses are growing as well โ which is why mobile device security is needed. Having MTD Solutions is vital to ensuring your businessโs information is secure. MTD Solutions give business owners real time protection against multiple cyber security threats. Having a robust MTD solution can protect remote businesses from mobile threats, including malware, phishing attacks and network vulnerabilities.
MTD solutions detect and prevent malicious app installations, monitor network traffic for suspicious activity and protect your business from phishing attacks through URL and content analysis. The solutions provide the necessary security to enhance productivity.
Zero Trust Security
One of the pinnacle components of a secure remote business is adapting a Zero Trust security model in your mobile device security. This ensures that every access request is verified despite location. This minimizes the risk of unauthorized access by implementing multi-factor authentication. Adapting this policy will also allow businesses to have specific access controls based on user roles.
Business owners will also have the ability to monitor and analyze network traffic. Using a Zero Trust security model businesses have the tools to limit the impact of potential security breaches.
Education
Human error remains one of the largest business mobile security threats. Having regular training sessions and ensuring your employees have an understanding of mobile device security, will eliminate this error. Remote employee autonomy is the most crucial line of defense against cyber security threats.
