How is information and data secured when teleworking?
In 2002, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) published its Special Security Publication 800-46, for Telecommuting and Broadband Communications. This publication reviews the threats and vulnerabilities, and recommends countermeasures to ensure secure and effective teleworking. Additionally, over the past two decades the industry has developed innovative Internet and computer security solutions to reduce the risk of a cyber attack. Commercial firewalls, encryption, anti-virus and scam, automated software updates, and backup solutions give organizations the tools they need to deploy secure teleworking programs.
