Minimizing home office security risk is a tough nut to crack!
3 comments- IT TOPICS:Security
In my opinion, Mary Brandel wrote a great article on the security risk of home offices. While policies and procedures are necessary, if your mobile workforce doesn't follow them, they're ineffective. I do like it when workers are required to use company issued equipment, as that can help to ensure that secure software is loaded from the get go. Anything that can be done to automate the security process will help. In addtion, companies should, on a regular basis, physically audit or "sheep dip" devices and insist that they be brought in for examination for patches, security updates (virus definitions) and correct configurations. Although remember, if you have hundreds of devices out there, the audit process will consume lots of man hours.
