Workplace Security in the Modern Workplace.

These days, users need to be able to access data and applications quickly and securely, both within and outside of the corporate network. It quickly becomes clear how important a modern workplace security approach is as the number of cyber-attacks continues to rise. It is essential for businesses to protect their most important assets – their network and sensitive data. IT security forms the foundation for compliance and must be a part of any strategic planning even when it comes to the Modern Workplace.

By using the latest security technologies, you protect your business holistically. We are by your side to help you include IT security in your Modern Workplace concept and understand the challenges of this rapidly changing world. Protect your business holistically so that you can focus on your work.

What does a modern approach to IT security mean?

The principle of shielding yourself with firewalls and tactical point solutions falls short when it comes to modern workplace security. IT security can no longer be ensured by walling your company in like a fortress. Your employees should be able to use applications and access company data from wherever they decide to work. Your company should therefore incorporate current security standards such as biometrics and cutting-edge data encryption into your security concept.

Workplace Security: One identity instead of endless passwords!

An infinite number of passwords, a multitude of management and user portals—a thing of the past thanks to a modern approach. Because modern, cloud-based architectures use holistic permissions and role concepts—which cover all services and applications. The new way—just one identity! Your employees will be able to access all services and applications with a single account (username and password).

Benefit from multi-factor authentication for even more security. But passwords and usernames on their own aren’t enough. The use of passwords alone is a main target for hackers. Opt for a modern alternative instead: multi-factor authentication. The system checks the plausibility of the login using several independent factors—such as access location and time. Additionally, the identity of the user can be ascertained by a call, SMS, or the Authenticator App.

And modern cloud technology provides more security with access controls for documents and files. One example I can give you is: A company can grant its employees the permissions required to read e-mails on their private computers, while still forcing them to use their work devices to print or download the content.

Remote work = more risk? Putting a seatbelt on a modern working style.

A surge in the number of remote workers has data protection and data security officers worried about a growing exposure to malware, hacker attacks and a higher risk of data leaks. Read why IT security should be the spring of a new grasp on a modern working style.
