Key Priorities of 2020
As the world goes back to the new normal, many challenges lie ahead, particularly related to constructing a healthy work environment and how to achieve compliance with the governmental regulations. Cybercrime has increased during the past few days. How to keep employees safe in the ‘Post-Pandemic Era’? Organizations are drafting plans on how to bring everyone back to the office. In such a context, the company’s cyber security factor is a crucial aspect.
The focus must shift to cyber security. There are several aspects that organizations
will have to keep in mind and they will have to primarily be more vigilant to prevent vulnerable machines from being connected to the corporate network.
Seven Cyber Security guidelines for Organizations after the Lockdown
1. Network Access Control (NAC): NAC solution to prevent unpatched machines from being connected to the network. Access to business applications is allowed once devices are compliant, fully patched and updated.
2. Password Change: As password is the first line of security, users must reset/change the password before they login into their system. As many organisations would have relaxed the password policy, this needs to be reset to the previous level.
3. Desktops: Before users go back to the office, the IT department needs to ensure the systems are kept up to date with antivirus signatures, patches, and software versions. They should also ensure full AV scan and make sure that health checks of DLP and other technologies have been performed.
4. Laptops: Similar measures need to be enforced for desktops as well. A walk-in center\clinic can be set up for users to submit their laptops to get their systems updated.
5. Data Hygiene: For users using their personal devices while working from home, it would be good to have them clean their organisation data from personal machines.
6. Exceptions: Risk team must review all the risk exceptions for employees and revoke them once employees start reporting to the office.
7. Physical Security: No employees or support staff should be allowed within the office premises without an authorised ID card.
