Ensuring remote work is a complex process

[relemedf5w023]

According to Elman Beibutov, the key to a successful transition to remote work is the maturity of corporate IT and information security, the presence of remote work experience among at least some employees, as well as the use of mobile devices to which corporate information security tools can be extended. He believes that the unpreparedness of corporate ICT infrastructures and services of many companies around the world, including in Russia, for a mass transition to remote work is natural, since the typical 10-30% safety margin of infrastructures for maintaining processes remotely under normal conditions was clearly not enough when more than 90% of personnel were transferred to work outside the office. "

Most companies did not have enough licenses for cyprus whatsapp data VPN sessions, there was no VDI infrastructure, external connections were prohibited by firewall settings, publishing web services in demilitarized zones required special knowledge and means to protect them - this is only a small list of what started the switch to remote work, despite the fact that the transition did not occur from scratch, since the basic tools for remote work were available and they simply needed to be scaled up," says Elman Beibutov. According to his observations, many still note the degradation of corporate services due to the low quality of services from home providers; in some cases, it turned out to be advisable to reserve Internet access from corporate smartphones.

" that consists not only of the technical component. It is also very important to remember about its organizational part," reminds Said Atsiev, leading pre-sales engineer at Cross Technologies. He believes that before transferring employees to remote work, a business should find answers to the following questions: which employees can be transferred to remote work and which cannot; what requirements a remote workplace must meet both in terms of the employee's effective performance of their duties and in terms of information security; how to organize control of working hours and employee efficiency while working remotely; how to ensure communication between employees during remote work.
