A Sure Thing: Robust Administrative Controls Deliver Security and Compliance in Mobile Messaging
The business landscape today includes a highly mobile workforce. A survey by Pew Research found that about a third (35%) of workers with jobs that can be done remotely are working from home all of the time and 41% of those with jobs that can be done remotely are working a hybrid schedule.
When working remotely, employees are not always at home. Remote work happens in coffee shops, co-working locations, libraries, restaurants and other locations. As the landscape of where work gets done continues to expand, so too do security and compliance risks.
While remote working provides flexible work arrangements for employees, this workforce mobility presents major security and compliance challenges when it comes to enterprise communication.
How can organizations today be sure their distributed teams are communicating in a secure, compliant manner?
