Level Up Your Cybersecurity

Hi there! 👋 

Thank you for following the latest AnyDesk news and updates on our LinkedIn profile. We are happy to see that so many of you have enjoyed reading our first LinkedIn Newsletter and clicked on the subscribe button 🎉. This month, we are taking a closer look at #cybersecurity, a topic more relevant than ever as #cyberattacks affect everyone, from private individuals to businesses and government institutions. 

An interconnected world can be vulnerable to #cyberthreats and needs a proper security infrastructure to minimize risks. The technical landscape changes quickly and new technologies often demand businesses to rethink their existing security measures. As malicious attacks are becoming more and more sophisticated, businesses need to react quickly and adapt their security strategies flexibly to whatever changes lie ahead. 

The last two and a half years have shown that new work concepts, such as remote any hybrid work, hold great benefits for businesses and employees alike. However, remote work environments also bring new security challenges to the table with employees using their own private network routers and laptops to work outside the traditional office. 💻 🏡 

It’s often small businesses that are lacking the resources to implement the right #securityframework for these new work environments. An interesting survey by UpCity, a Chicago-based business intelligence company, has revealed that only 50% of small businesses in the United States have implemented a proper cybersecurity plan. With these numbers in mind, it is no surprise that #cybercrimes cost the United States a total of 6.9 billion Dollars in 2021, as stated by the Digital Guardian. 💸 

In this newsletter, we share what tools and strategies you need to prepare your business for the security challenges of the digital age. Discover the right resources to keep up to date with the latest news and trends in the field of cybersecurity and learn how a #zerotrust security approach can help your company mitigate risks. 

Enjoy reading! 📖☕

🔐 Preparation Is Key: Digital Security Checklist 

For businesses, there is a whole jungle of #securitysolutions out there. But what are the essentials businesses really need in order to implement a good security framework?

Having several #securitylayers in place helps businesses to minimize risks. Professional Remote Desktop Solutions add to these layers and come with highest security standards already built in. Using a Remote Desktop Tool for #remotework, #remotesupport, and #itadministration scenarios allows businesses to level up their security.

🔑 The Right Strategy: Never Trust, Always Verify 

Implementing security tools alone won’t do the #job. A business needs experienced IT experts to operate these tools and a well-developed cyber security strategy to follow. This is where #zerotrust moves into the picture. Zero Trust is a sophisticated security concept for businesses assuming that no employee, device, or network can be trusted, neither outside nor inside the company premises. Zero Trust replaces old security strategies and reacts to modern digital threats that overthrow physical borders. 🌎 

A Zero Trust security concept is built on 3 principles: 

✔️ Always verify users and devices 

✔️ Access restriction – Zero Trust Network Access (#ZTNA) 

✔️ Prepare for the worst-case scenario 

With more and more people working either completely remote or in hybrid work concepts, Zero Trust becomes particularly important when it comes to #remoteaccess. Remote Desktop Tools can help companies to implement a Zero Trust strategy as they offer a variety of different security features that restrict and manage access to devices as well as user roles.  

In this blog post, you will learn more about Zero Trust, what it is and how it works. Discover how Remote Desktop Solutions help create secure remote work environments that go hand in hand with a good cyber security plan.
