Ensuring Cyber-security in Remote Workforce: Legal Implications and International Best Practices

Abstract

Remote work, or telecommuting, has become increasingly popular in recent years, with the COVID-19 pandemic accelerating its adoption. However, this shift has also created new challenges for organizations and policymakers, particularly with regards to cyber-security. This article explores the legal implications and international best practices for ensuring cyber-security in remote workforces. With remote workforces becoming more prevalent, organizations and policymakers must consider the potential risks and implement appropriate measures to protect against cyber threats. This includes establishing clear policies and guidelines for remote work, providing secure remote access to company systems, and implementing regular training and awareness programs for employees. By adopting best practices and complying with relevant laws and regulations, organizations can help ensure the security of their remote workforces and protect against cyber-attacks.
