FeatureThe last year has given rise to a gradual adoption of hybrid workforces across several industries to ensure that they can cope with the current situation and that their day to day activities continue to operate smoothly. It has also seen the switch from the present on-premise network to cloud-centric, SaaS-based solutions and AI-based work. This has in turn increased the security risk and most organisations are putting measures in place to protect data from unauthorised access or online attacks.
Some of the security concerns for today’s end-users are around cloud security, remote worker’s end point security, IoT devices with 5G networks, phishing and ransomware attacks and social media based cyberattacks. At this point a conventional security approach may not be effective. Zero Trust Approach can ensure cloud-centric network security in a hybrid work environment.
Cloud Box Technologies offers a 360 degree approach to security. Every customer’s requirement is unique, and the one-size-fits-all security solution can not apply. In a highly competitive market of technologies and solution offerings where SIs promise to provide end-to-end solution offerings, Cloud Box Technologies has managed to create a market for itself and offers value over cost.
Zero Trust Approach can ensure cloud-centric network security in a hybrid work environment.

Companies must also consider updating cybersecurity policies that are more relevant to the new remote workforce.
One of the most important cybersecurity vulnerabilities in many organisations are the employees themselves. It is critical that regular trainings are conducted to update them about the latest cyberthreats, security policies of the company and to understand the importance of securing personal technology being used for work.
It strengthens information security awareness among the hybrid workforce. Companies must also consider updating cybersecurity policies that are more relevant to the new remote workforce. Additionally, they must also manage end-points by using secured VPNs to prevent unauthorised access into company networks.

Recommendation for CISOs
• Security decisions makers ensure that they have a clearly defined and effective cloud security and data protection strategy in place.
• This calls for upgrading skills of not just the security teams but also of security decision makers.
