Remote Work, Real Threats: Securing Endpoints Beyond the Office

Has your expanded remote workforce left your business vulnerable to cyberattacks?

The shift to remote and hybrid work has brought immense flexibility, but it’s also stretched the traditional security perimeter thin. With employees accessing sensitive data from home networks, public Wi-Fi, and personal devices, endpoints outside the office are prime targets. Securing these remote connections is no longer optional—it’s critical.

The Remote Risk Landscape

Home networks often lack enterprise-grade security, and personal devices may not have the same protections as company-issued ones. This creates a fertile ground for phishing, malware, and data leakage, putting your organisation at significant risk. A single compromised remote endpoint can provide attackers with a backdoor into your corporate network.

How Endpoint Security Fortifies Remote Work

Robust endpoint security solutions are designed to protect devices wherever they are, without relying on a traditional office network:

  • VPN-Less Security: Many modern solutions offer secure access and protection without requiring a constant VPN connection, improving user experience.
  • Data Loss Prevention (DLP): Prevents sensitive data from leaving authorized environments, even on remote devices.
  • Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR): Monitors activity on remote devices, identifying and responding to threats in real time.
  • Zero Trust Principles: Ensures that every device and user is verified before granting access, regardless of location.

UK Remote Work Statistics & Security Concerns

Research from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) shows a significant rise in hybrid working in the UK. This trend amplifies the need for robust endpoint security. Recent surveys highlight that many UK businesses are struggling to maintain security oversight for their remote workers.
