The Rapid Shift to Support WFH and Its Impact on Information Security
Many organizations have quickly rolled out new tools in an effort to speed communications and collaboration in the rapid shift to work from home (WFH) in the midst of a global pandemic. In order to quickly onboard the tools needed to support a highly distributed workforce practically overnight, many have inadvertently put their organizations at serious risk for information security, compliance, and data privacy violations by putting security on the back burner. Now many are looking to retroactively secure collaboration and sharing in tools like Office 365, SharePoint, and Microsoft Teams.
While every company has some common basic requirements around securing access to, and the collaboration of, business critical and sensitive information, there are needs and requirements that are unique for particular/certain/within industries. For example:
- Financial security institutions must be able to set-up Information Barriers.
- Healthcare organizations must ensure protected healthcare information (PHI) is only seen and accessed by authorized individuals.
- Companies must be able to protect IP internally and when shared / collaborated on with third parties.
- In some industries, sharing regulated client or patient information in chats can violate privacy regulations.
Being able to quickly and easily apply appropriate information security and access restrictions to the multitude of files, chats and emails created and shared daily is must – now more than ever with most of the workforce outside the safety of the corporate bubble and new tools in play.
