The importance of identity controls during mass telework

Jason Callaway, customer engineer for Google Cloud, discusses 2020’s unprecedented work-from-home scenario and what it means for security.

The associated risk means it’s important for organizations to modernize their identity security controls, like multi-factor authentication, Callaway says. Technologies like attribute-based access controls, data loss prevention and other tools can help — but really it comes down to training the workforce to resist social engineering attacks, he says.

Callaway also discusses more security strategies enterprise leaders should be aware of as cyberthreats expand.
