We are living in unpredictable times and businesses in the UK are really being stress tested. As storms and floods have impacted businesses at a regional level, COVID-19 continues to challenge businesses large and small at a global level. If disaster recovery, business continuity and enabling remote workforces wasn’t on the IT agenda for 2020 at the beginning of the year, it almost certainly is now.
Organisations are having to rapidly evolve to changing circumstances and take decisions to protect their employees, colleagues and customers. In-person events and meetings are being cancelled, travel bans are being rolled out and some businesses are mandating ‘work from home’ policies.

Whilst time is of the essence in enabling remote workforces, businesses must be mindful of security and be careful they don’t create additional attack surfaces, network or operational vulnerabilities.
