Even if you are downsizing in other areas, this is not the time to lay off cybersecurity talent. Those are good tools in the fight against cybercrime, but it begs the question: How many newly remote workers are not using them? You could hire a contractor for a few months specifically to focus on your remote working protocols, but the model isn't just for crisis response. • Ensure remote workers use a VPN, and ensure that the VPN is regularly updated with the most current security patches. To stay safe, the smart move is to make sure you have the right cybersecurity talent and policies in place.
