Data Security Concerns in a Work From Anywhere World

For those that can, the past 14 or so months have seen an abrupt shift in where we work. No longer commuting to an office, we now make our way to kitchen tables, home offices, couches, or maybe even closets or beds. At least some sort of hybrid work from anywhere- whether that is the office or home or somewhere else- is likely to remain after the pandemic subsides. Data security can be an overlooked aspect of this arrangement. Confidential and sensitive information is passed back and forth over home networks, including contract terms and pricing. In this presentation, a security consultant at HP will provide an overview of the future of flexible work forces, security concerns for that mobile work force, and provide insights on how to protect the sensitive information on your home networks.

Learning Objectives:

1. Discuss the future of flexible work forces- what it looks like and where it is likely to go
2. Review security concerns of the mobile workforce, including data that needs to be printed, scanned, or faxed from the home office
3. Assess a layered security approach to home network environments
