Quotes

Conducting virtual site reviews for high-risk or concerned workers is essential. Audit and security professionals can help high-risk workers identify and remediate security and privacy deficiencies in their work-from-home environments using virtual risk and security site reviews. By having a guided and targeted video conversation with the home worker, security professionals can help remote workers identify and mitigate risk in their home work areas. Some common risk examples that are often identified in virtual site reviews are sensitive materials scattered across a work environment, windows where unauthorized individuals may be able to see information displayed on screens without the worker’s knowledge, open work areas where family members and random individuals could easily overhear conversations and view materials without restriction, and items that may divulge private details about a worker or their family that an adversary could use as part of a targeted attack.
