Wireless Connections and Cybersecurity
- Many employees use wireless connections to access the internet while working remotely from non-traditional locations such as coffee shops, libraries, and public areas.
- These public Wi-Fi connections can be easily accessed to connect to the organization's network, allowing employees to work remotely.
- However, these Wi-Fi networks are not secure and can pose a significant risk to the organization's network and data.
- To mitigate this risk, organizations can provide employees with approved Enterprise Virtual Private Network (EVPN) or Virtual Private Network (VPN) technology.
- EVPN/VPN technology creates a secure internet connection that shields online activity from cybercriminals.
- It is essential for employees to use organization-approved EVPN/VPN technology to prevent falling victim to cybercriminals and protect the organization's network and data.
