HP has introduced the HP Wolf Connect remote management connectivity solutiondesigned to offer a secure and robust connection to remote PCs, so that enterprise IT teams can manage computers remotely, even when they are turned off or disconnected.
HP Wolf Connect uses a smartphone-based network, and its design allows you to reduce time and effort in asset management, support ticket resolution, as well as protect data and sensitive information from loss or theft when there is a security breach.
Besides, HP Wolf Protect and Trace with Wolf Connect allows you to remotely locate, lock, and persistently wipe a device. This gives IT teams more capabilities to protect sensitive data and a reduced need to repair or replace PCs, which reduces IT investment.
Security and management of hybrid templates, a priority for companies
The shift in the world of work in many companies towards a hybrid approach has made ensuring security and managing the hybrid workforce a priority for many. According to a study by HP Wolf Security among 1,492 security officers from all over the world, the 82% of those who work in companies with a hybrid work model have gaps in their security situation of your organization.
In addition, 61% say that next year they will have more difficulties protecting hybrid workforces, and 70% say that hybrid work increases the risk of device loss or theft. Apart from this, the various computers and peripherals are still exposed to serious threats, such as ransomware.
In addition, these computers that function as endpoints are the main points of attack for hybrid workers. That’s why it’s important to create new cybersecurity strategies, as well as have security tools capable of responding to changing employee behaviors.
84% of security managers say that the endpoint is the origin of most security threats, as well as the point where the threats that do the most damage to companies occur. And 66% point out that the biggest weakness of cybersecurity is the possibility of hybrid employees being compromised. Both phishing and ransomware and attacks through insecure home networks are considered the main risks for them.
Another 65% point to the difficulty they have in updating their threat detection measures to reflect the behavior of hybrid employees. This is why they have a harder time detecting attacks. On the other hand, 76% of the security managers surveyed agree that isolating applications is essential to protect the equipment and devices of hybrid workers. Despite this, only 23% do so, while another 32% have plans to start doing so within a year at most.
In view of this, 82% of security managers have increased their budget for cybersecurity, specifically for their company’s hybrid workers, and 71% believe that this hybrid investment approach will increase even more this year. 80% have put in place a different set of tools and policies for hybrid workers than the rest.
Likewise, 70% limit access to the network for remote employees, with the aim of minimizing the possibility of suffering a security breach. In view of these data, it can be considered that security in the hybrid work model be one of the keys in companies for this 2023.
