Remote Work Readiness Webinar

As the Coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to spread throughout the globe, the need to assess your company's IT continuity capabilities becomes increasingly important.

Many executives are scrambling to set themselves and their team up to work remotely. With the proper tools and technology, this is a simple process. But without, you could easily waste hours and open yourself up to security risks.

Here are just a few of the subjects we'll cover during this webinar:
 

Assessing Remote Work Requirements, Capacity, and Options

The first step in determining your remote continuity capabilities, is understanding these scope and capacity requirements:

• Which systems, applications, and resources are needed to do the job?
• What is the ability of your current infrastructure to support remote users?
• Do the remote work locations have adequate infrastructure to connect to company resources?
• What technologies can you expand or easily implement to improve remote work?

Identifying Security and Compliance Needs

Before you decide on your remote workforce solution, make sure you have answers to the following questions around security and compliance:

• Will remote users be allowed to access company resources with personal devices or from public networks?
• Will allowing users to work remotely affect any compliance rules or data handling requirements of your clients?
• Do you have sufficient IT security controls to manage a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) workforce?

Updating Your Policies and Procedures

Policies and procedures can often get overlooked until they are needed. Make sure these company polices are up to date:

• Disaster Recovery Plan
• Business Continuity
• Acceptable Use
• Emergency Communication Protocols

Particular items you should consider updating in your policies:

• Staff directories and emergency contact information
• Notifications and communications protocols during Disaster and Business Continuity scenarios
• Company sites and approved remote worksite locations
• Instructions on how to access company resources remotely
