Description

New cybersecurity threats have sprouted due to the sudden shift to remote work; changed workplace dynamics have potentially moved security perimeters outward as organizations begin to experience new threats in the forms of phishing, ransomware, data breaches, and even insider threats. This chapter focuses on cybersecurity risks with remote work, upcoming security trends, and best practices for organizing and protecting distributed workforce activities. It tackles such core concepts of Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA), AI-enabled threat detection, and Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) as foundational strategies necessary to secure networks from remote workspaces. It also emphasizes employee awareness and compliance with cybersecurity regulations. Strong security controls will help businesses stay on top of cyber risks while developing the future of work toward being digital-first. 2025, IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
