The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a significant increase in the number of people working remotely. While this has many benefits, it also introduces new security challenges. Remote workers are often using their own devices and networks, which can be more vulnerable to attack.
CrowdStrike offers a number of solutions to help organizations protect their remote workforce. These solutions include:
- Falcon Prevent: Falcon Prevent is a malware protection solution that uses AI to identify and block malicious files and processes.
- Falcon Insight: Falcon Insight is a visibility solution that provides visibility into endpoint activity. This allows organizations to identify suspicious activity and investigate incidents.
- Falcon Discover: Falcon Discover is an asset discovery and inventory solution that can be used to identify all of the assets on a network and track their changes over time.
- Falcon OverWatch: Falcon OverWatch is a managed threat hunting service that provides 24/7 monitoring and analysis of endpoint data. This allows organizations to identify and respond to threats that may be missed by traditional security solutions.
In addition to these solutions, CrowdStrike also offers a number of best practices for protecting remote workers. These best practices include:
- Educating employees about cybersecurity: Employees should be educated about cybersecurity best practices, such as how to create strong passwords, spot phishing emails, and avoid malicious websites.
- Using a VPN: Remote workers should use a VPN when connecting to the corporate network. This helps to encrypt traffic and protect it from eavesdropping.
- Keeping devices up to date: Devices should be kept up to date with the latest security patches and software updates. This helps to close vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers.
- Using strong passwords and multi-factor authentication: Strong passwords and multi-factor authentication should be used to protect all accounts and devices.
