Your company has recently decided to allow employees to work remotely on a permanent basis. As a cybersecurity analyst, it's part of your role to ensure that all action plans within the vulnerability management reporting adhere to this new business model. Which of the following steps is most crucial to address in your updated action plan?
Imposing stricter access controls on proprietary systems for remote employees
Centralizing the configuration management even more to prevent remote staff from altering settings
Automating all patching activities to be performed only within office premises
Enhancing awareness, education, and training for staff about secure remote work practices
Given the transition to a permanent remote workforce, enhancing awareness, education, and training for staff is most crucial, ensuring that they understand the security risks and policies associated with remote work. Secure configuration management and patching remain important, but without proper training of remote employees, they can expose the enterprise to additional risks through unsafe remote work practices. Proprietary systems restrictions, while relevant, are less directly impacted by the shift to remote work and are not a foremost concern in this context.
