How does Sophos support remote work security?

Sophos supports remote work security effectively through features like VPN support and endpoint secure access. A Virtual Private Network (VPN) creates a secure connection between remote users and the organization’s network, allowing encrypted communications over the internet. This helps safeguard sensitive data from potential threats, such as interception or eavesdropping, which is particularly important for remote workers who may not be using secure networks.

Additionally, endpoint secure access ensures that devices connecting to the corporate network are compliant with security policies. This might include ensuring that the devices have up-to-date antivirus software, are not compromised, and meet specific configuration standards before they are granted access. This combination of technologies not only protects the data being transmitted but also ensures that the devices accessing the network do not pose an internal security threat.

Other options misrepresent effective security strategies for remote work. Restricting internet access limits employees’ ability to work efficiently and doesn’t address security risks comprehensively. Monitoring personal devices can raise legal and ethical concerns and may not yield effective security outcomes, depending on the context. Storing all data on local servers is not practical for remote work and could hinder productivity, especially in mobile or hybrid environments. Therefore, VPN support and endpoint secure access represent the most appropriate and holistic approach to securing remote
