About the Presenter, CTO Mike Simon
Critical Insight CTO Mike Simon is an internationally renowned security expert with experience in helping organizations deal with rapid-fire incident response on a global scale. What is happening to the international community right now is impacting organizations and workers in real-time. In this on-demand webinar, Mike covers the critical tele-commuting cybersecurity issues that pose risks to organizations today.
The lessons we are learning now will still be relevant after COVID-19. It’s likely that after the pandemic subsides, fewer employees will be going back to the physical office. This on-demand webinar is available to InfoSec professionals and the public, so we can all be more secure as we work-from-home.
Home Office Cybersecurity
Coronavirus is accelerating the number of people working remotely, at a speed no one expected. For many of the people working remotely, the shift is coupled with anxiety resulting from the COVID19 pandemic. The mixture of the physical and emotional changes is introducing significant security risks.
Information security professionals now have to ensure employees comply with work from home security policies. User security awareness training and 1-1 user education are key to managing the new pandemic risks impacting the cybersecurity program. Informed users are powerful allies within your organization. Unfortunately, uneducated users can make very catastrophic mistakes.
Fred Langston, EVP of Healthcare Security and Consulting at Critical Insight, develops education specifically for users in critical services, including healthcare security awareness training. "We focus on training people on a life skill – not just a work skill – one that centers around protecting themselves and using technology and information securely in all areas of their life." To bring cybersecurity “closer to home,” Fred and his team use real-world examples of how cyber criminals have caused harm to individuals and organizations alike. Once users understand the risk they face personally and what they can do to protect themselves, they are much more likely to buy into an organization’s cybersecurity program.
