Post Covid 101 -How to test your Remote Work Security

File sync and share technology is designed with the modern professional landscape in mind; a
landscape where workforces rely on multiple devices and location flexibility in order to
maximize productivity. File sync and share gives organizations the power to share files across
multiple devices and with multiple people using file synchronization – allowing files to be stored
in any approved data repository and accessed remotely by employees from any of their IT
provisioned devices.

Historically, remote work policies have been a sensitive topic for organizations. While some
employers might fear that remote work creates a dip in employee performance, the larger
the concern is securing the proprietary and business-critical data modern companies rely on
on.

On a corporate network, IT teams can easily secure employee devices, but this becomes much
more difficult to do once an employee accesses the system from outside the network.

Outside of the corporate network, devices are easily susceptible to attacks from third parties
and cybercriminals. Attacking these unsecured endpoints can reveal the employee’s login
credentials to cybercriminals so they can access the company’s system, or even use
ransomware to lock company data – which happened to the NextCloud service last fall.

Solutions that are built to deliver secure file sync and share give organizations the flexibility to
enable employee collaboration and productivity while giving the IT department control over the
protection of company data.

Here are some of the ways that secure file sync and share
technology protects and empowers businesses:

It’s well known that when file sync and share solution isn’t provided,
employees will often resort to using their own personal devices and tools. Because these tools
and devices exist outside of the control of IT departments, they’re inherently not secure and put
sensitive company data at risk. With secure file sync and share, employees can easily share and
access company files while IT maintains the privacy and security of the data.

Organizations are beginning to see the workday less as a clock-in/clock-out office environment, and have adopted an environment that supports the various schedules and lifestyles of their employees. With secure file-sync and share, employees are no longer constrained to a single corporate-owned device to be productive..

When corporate data is centrally stored, it’sbetter protected against data leakage. This includes data lost to a cyberattack, employee error,or a lost or stolen device. With an enterprise-grade file sync and share solution, sensitive
corporate data is kept secure and protected.

File sync and share services are adapting to not only protect company
data but to aid in remote workplace collaboration. Some file sync and share tools now provide
users with tools to preview and edit files in-browser, search and find specific company
documents and versions, and keep all employees on the same version of a document.

While global emergencies such as the coronavirus outbreak may highlight the benefits of having
a secure remote work policy in place, the use of secure collaborative tools should be
understood as part of a larger cultural shift. As more organizations adopt remote work policies,
the IT teams, and MSPs that service these companies should adopt secure file sync and share
solutions

Acronis Cyber Files Cloud is a secure enterprise file sync and share solution that features
end-to-end encryption, user controls, and audit trial. It allows remote workers to collaborate
securely and protect data from loss, theft, and manipulation.
