Video Highlights

  • The shift to employees working from home has created significant security threats, including unsecured Wi-Fi networks and users accessing corporate data from personal devices.
  • Organizations should take a zero-trust approach to security, based on identity management and authentication, and place security policy controls around users no matter what their home networks look like. 
  • Design thinking can help organizations create cybersecurity controls that make the lives of employees and teammates easier while not compromising security.
