Teleworking has exploded in Spain. With the pandemic caused by COVID-19 as the main catalyst, the number of people who telecommute in the last year has grown exponentially. Even at this time, when a good part of the workforce has returned to the office, blended work is maintained in many companies, leading to hybrid environments and new ways to collaborate.
This, of course, has had a direct impact on the technological infrastructure of companies, which have had to adapt (and continue to do so) to a new way of working that is demanding all kinds of investments: equipment (laptops, monitors …), resources in the data center (VPN, VDI…) and software. In this context, companies face a double challenge: being able to maintain the productivity of your employees without sacrificing your high computer security standards.
And it is not being easy. A recent study developed by Newtrix pointed out in this sense that up to 85% of CISOs admit that they have had to lower their security measures and sacrifice part of their efforts in cybersecurity to facilitate teleworking in their companies.
Another report, “HP Wolf Security: Fuzzy Lines and Blind Spots”, points to other interesting data such as that 30% of employees acknowledge that they have allowed another person to use their work device, despite the fact that this increases the risk of a security breach; o that 54% of those responsible for security have detected a greater number of attacks from phishing in the last year, while 45% have detected the use of infected printers as an attack method in the same period of time.
Strengthen your security in your remote work
Precisely to reinforce the IT security of these employees and of devices such as PCs and printers, HP presents its platform HP Wolf Security, a set of integrated security solutions whose objective is to protect users and companies from all types of cyber threats.
Under the HP Wolf Security brand, the American multinational presents a complete portfolio of solutions and services that integrate both personal computers and printing equipment from their design to the security software included in the devices.
Starting from a “Zero Trust” approach, HP Wolf Security leverages technologies such as self-healing firmware, in-memory threat detection, or the use of cloud-based intelligence to reduce complexity and attack surface faced by IT departments today.
In the case of large companies, as well as public sector organizations, HP positions “HP Wolf Enterprise Security” that stands out for the exclusive integration of Sure Click Enterprise, a solution that applies HP isolation technology to ensure the protection of critical applications against any malware.
To do this, HP Sure Click creates hardware-hardened micro-virtual machines (VMs) that protect key applications, forming a container between the application and the host PC. The application and data are safely isolated from the host operating system and any malicious agents that may have penetrated it. This unique, hardware-enforced approach helps:
- Securing key tasks such as remote sysadmin activity on mission critical systems.
- Allow users to work securely on multiple Privileged Access Virtual Workstations (PAWs) on a single device.
- Ensure browser-based access to critical applications.
In addition, HP Wolf Enterprise Security offers users and companies all the tools they need to neutralize the computer threats that reach their email, isolate their confidential information against any attack from phishing and to protect your credentials in any browsing session. In short, with HP Wolf Enterprise Security, the American multinational proposes a new type of security that helps organizations safeguard PCs, printers and their most confidential information with a comprehensive approach that begins with the hardware, goes through the software and ends with the best services.
