Abstract:

The rise of remote work, accelerated by the global COVID-19 pandemic, has fundamentally transformed the workplace environment, bringing about both opportunities and challenges. Among the most pressing challenges is the need for robust cybersecurity measures to safeguard digital infrastructures, sensitive data, and organizational assets. As employees increasingly access corporate networks from home offices and personal devices, traditional security protocols are no longer sufficient. This paper examines the unique cybersecurity challenges posed by remote work, including insecure home networks, lack of employee cybersecurity awareness, and increased vulnerabilities from the use of personal devices. It further discusses the evolution of cybersecurity strategies in response to these challenges, exploring the adoption of advanced technologies such as multi-factor authentication (MFA), virtual private networks (VPNs), zero-trust security models, and endpoint detection and response (EDR) systems. The paper also highlights best practices for organizations to implement in securing their remote work environments and offers recommendations for future developments in remote work cybersecurity.
