When was the last time your employees received cybersecurity training? For many, the answer might be “not recently enough,” especially given the number of people now working remotely. One recent survey found two-thirds of remote workers hadn’t received cybersecurity training over the past year, and 77 percent of them weren’t worried about security while working at home.

The Future of Work – Welcome to the Office of the Now

Like many companies, you’re probably pushing forward faster than ever to let employees work wherever and whenever they need to.Genesis is seeing the benefits firsthand, getting work done with a lot more flexibility. In one study, 98% of remote workers around the world said they’d like to keep doing so, at least part-time, for the rest of their careers.What technologies, processes, and policies are your peers using to meet the need? Take a look at this infographic to compare your approach.

The remote workforce is calling. How is IT responding?

Most of us have had to adjust to a new work-life balance, involving a lot more working from home. For many of us it required a rebalancing of work hours and home commitments. How about you and your team?Fortunately, there’s been a lot of research done on how best to use technology to simplify this balance.HP had developed an approach called OneLife aimed at making work-life balance more fluid. In this post, HP’s Kobi Elbaz talks about how to evolve the model for your own situation today.When HP first envisioned what we call “OneLife,” we had no concept of the blunt reality we would all be confronted with in 2020. OneLife is the idea that technology must seamlessly permeate our personal and professional lives. At the time we conceived the nomenclature, it reflected a growing desire to have devices that serve multiple purposes, making life more fluid overall.Today, as lives are turned upside-down by the COVID-19 pandemic, OneLife represents nothing short of necessity. Technology has proven to be an absolutely essential tool as millions of people around the world adjust to new realities.For the demands of work and managing everyday life, success requires a blend of three things: a digital-first mindset, the right tools, and an adaptive schedule to balance priorities. Here’s how I’m encouraging my teams to evolve their own approach to OneLife—as I do the same.Staying Productive in a Tech-Enabled Home OfficeBefore the coronavirus crisis, about 43 percent of employees in the U.S. worked from home at least some of the time, according to Global Workplace. Now, that number has skyrocketed, with some network specialists seeing remote user traffic surge by 800 to 900 percent. Fortune 50 companies are being run from kitchen tables. Historic decisions are happening, not in boardrooms, but rather right from leaders’ own homes. We’ve each assumed hybridized routines that are inextricably powered by technology.At HP, I’ve been immensely impressed by how well our 50,000+ employees worldwide have augmented their homes into highly functional workspaces quickly and maintained productivity. This has been enabled, first and foremost, by leadership trusting that good work can truly happen from anywhere. Network infrastructure and security protocols are also critical. On a more personal level, however, agile, home-based technology ecosystems have never been so important. Google data shows that year-over-year search volume for devices has climbed sharply since early March. Searches for laptops are up 72 percent; printer searches are up 59 percent; monitors are up 74 percent. PCs with quality sound—to support video conferences—and noise cancelling headphones are also more essential in a house where everyone is coexisting.For myself and my team, I’ve seen what a difference the right set-up has made during this time. Having confidence in your tools means being able to focus on deep work and driving efficiencies in your day. Employees who mirror the digital perks of a traditional office—from setting up a dual-monitor for viewing ease, to using a wireless keyboard and mouse for comfort, to having a headset ready to go for high-quality video calls—thrive while working from home.Beyond work, though, colleagues have leaned on technology to connect on a human level. Teams are leveraging the habits that have enabled remote work for years in order to bring more stability to the rest of our lives.Trusting Technology to Keep All Facets of Life Moving ForwardTechnology ecosystems are evolving quickly because our lives—not just our jobs—depend on it. Devices now serve as full-time classrooms, doctors’ offices, stores, virtual gathering places for friends and loved ones, and much more. Our homes are command central.Like so many others, I have school-aged kids at home whose demand for connectivity is just as important as mine. My middle-school-aged daughter, for instance, is juggling online projects and assessments every day while also trying to stay engaged with her classmates. I also know people who need non-emergency medical care right now. Their best—or only—option for getting an existing prescription refilled or getting a new one is telemedicine. As doctors and patients rely on video calls, secure and reliable technology makes a life-changing difference. My family, like many households, is also adapting to using technology more for groceries and meals. One study showed that 97 percent of respondents who were using online grocery services during this time planned to continue doing so in the future.On top of all these necessities, though, families want to find some enjoyment. Streaming videos, listening to playlists and gaming are all sources of fun that can be done safely from home. In fact, the gaming destination Steam saw a record-breaking 20 million concurrent users in March—well above its previous record of 18 million. As a society, we’re looking for creative and stress-relieving outlets. Whether that’s writing or some form of digital art or helping mobilize a philanthropic effort online, technology is augmenting nearly every facet of daily life.But the concept of OneLife doesn’t just mean having more technology. Rather, it’s about finding novel ways that our devices can facilitate fluidity, simplicity and flexibility in how we live and work.Right now, we’re putting OneLife to the test. Each of us, through a bit of trial and error, has to create a technology ecosystem and define the boundaries that will allow our work and wellbeing to prosper under the unusual—and often challenging—circumstances we’re all facing together. As a result, our digital lives will be fuller and more connected than ever. Contact Genesis Technologies and tell us about your current work model so we can help your organization move to a hybrid remote and office work model.

From productivity to humanity, technology is enabling work and life like never before.

CIOs and mastering the art of technology change.

In a recent HP study on working from home, they found that 70% of Enterprise decision makers agreed that there’s an increased risk of compromised security management and processes.

HP’s Head of Security, Michael Howard, Interview

Your employees are a critical part of your security plan and they may not even know it. Educating them on how to take a proactive role in preventing cyber-attacks is your best defense.

HP Remote worker cybersecurity best practices

To attract and retain top talent, business leaders need to embrace new technologies that can reinvent the experience of work and adapt to changing employee needs.

Technology’s Growing Role In Workforce Engagement

Every IT leader we talk to is dealing with security and remote workers. Hackers are exploiting current events with misleading subject lines and spoofed sending addresses – 91% of cyber-attacks start off with phishing emails.Learn how to make employees a part of your security strategy by reading this article from HP’s Garage article by Jackie Snow.During this global pandemic, companies are rightly considering the health and safety of their employees first by sending them home to work. But these measures could amplify another threat businesses need to be wary of: Cybersecurity.According to a recent HP survey, 74% of employees are currently working from home, many without a dedicated office space or the cybersecurity defences that protect them while they’re in the office. Since it’s unclear how long mandatory work-from-home measures will be required, employers need to put best practices in place now to keep employees and their work safe.“It’s easier to secure everyone when they’re all sitting in the same office,” says Michael Howard, HP’s chief security consultant for print. “But when you start looking at everyone working from home — the complexity of keeping everybody secure becomes much more difficult.”Even before the coronavirus, more than a third of CIOs said they felt the biggestsecurity threat to their business was employees who don’t take the proper security measures. And security is not just an issue for large enterprises — according to a 2019 report from Verizon, 43% of data breaches target small- and medium-sized businesses. Working from home without an IT department, with the added stresses of trying to wrangle kids also off from school and stay healthy during a pandemic, is only making it harder to maintain the best digital security practices.“We know workers that work from home tend to be more lax about security,” says Howard, who’s heading up HP’s companywide security outreach to support customers working from home. “That’s an even bigger concern in this environment.”Here are some of the best ways to mitigate the most significant threats that come with remote work.Reinforce digital and behavioral defensesWorking from home means using personal Wi-Fi, which is not as secure as being on the network in an office. Gagan Singh, VP of strategy and innovation for HP’s commercial PCs, says that companies need to invest in virtual machines that can be segmented to ensure the whole network isn’t infected if something does happen to one remote computer. Next-generation antivirus software also provides protection, especially since an administrator can manage it remotely and keep it up-to-date, since employees might be tempted to disable the software when it causes their workflow to slow down.There are also basic best practices that employees can follow to protect business data. This includes never saving and never downloading the organization’s information to personal devices and being proactive about their passwords. A few suggestions: Not using work passwords for personal devices (and vice versa), changing passwords immediately if there is even a hint it was compromised, and adjusting settings so that the “remember password” functions are turned off when logging on from personal devices. While it would be ideal for technology to help automate some of this, many software makers are scrambling to update their systems for remote workers.Most enterprise businesses already have a cybersecurity governance code in place, which includes an information security policy and other policies that outline security guidelines for remote work and remote access to a company’s information systems. This document needs to be checked to see if it’s up to date and adequately detailed to guide employees to best practices.“Managers should be very familiar with what the guidelines are, and be talking with their teams about it regularly,” Howard says.“We are doing 100% of work and 100% of life simultaneously, and that just exposes us to a lot more threats.” – Gagan Singh, VP of strategy and innovation for HP’s commercial PCsBe hypervigilant about external threatsAccording to research from security software firm Trend Micro, 91% of cyberattacks begin with a phishing email, in which an intriguing subject line or familiar-seeming sender lures someone into providing sensitive data or downloading malware. Without the layers of protection put in by an IT department to catch many of these attempts, employees are more exposed to these threats than usual. Companies need to reinforce the need to be wary, including the ways scammers try to manipulate people, and keepremote workers up to date with the type of attacks to be on the lookout for.“Employers should make their remote employees aware of a sophisticated, planned strategy of hacking known as social engineering,” says Laura Spawn, the CEO of Virtual Vocation, a company that connects people wanting to work from home to remote jobs. “These attackers may send phishing emails to employees to gather confidential information and often do extensive research about a company before attempting to penetrate their system.”To make matters worse, criminals are using our fear of coronavirus against us:Cyberthreat researchers at Barracuda Networks saw a 667% increase in malicious phishing emails that claimed to be about ways to protect yourself from coronavirus as a way to trick people into opening emails.“It’s a good idea to ensure sensitive data is encrypted during transmission, processing, and while it’s sitting on your home network,” Howard says. “At the very least, you have to remind and train employees that scammers are perpetually on the prowl, and they’re taking advantage of what’s happening now.”It’s not just phishing attempts in people’s inboxes. According to Singh, there has been at least a doubling in ransomware attacks in the last few weeks. These attacks, in which criminals lock up important data and demand payment for its release, were projected to cost $8 billion in 2019. Those emails and texts also prey on fear, offering attachments with titles like, “How to protect yourself from coronavirus.”“It’s very likely you will click on it,” Singh says. “We are doing 100% of work and 100% of life simultaneously, and that just exposes us to a lot more threats.”Harden up home hardwareIn the rush to social distance, many people went remote without work computers and had to rely on whatever setup they had at home. This creates potentially serious security risks, since consumer products aren’t always up to the level of enterprise hardware used in the workplace.“The organization has no control over those computers,” says Michael Hamilton, founder and CISO of digital security firm CI Security. “You have to constantly message your employees that you are a target and have to be extra careful.”If possible, Hamilton says employees shouldn’t use the same computer for remote work as any leisure or home computer time. For businesses that are able to — and those with employees working on highly sensitive information — Singh suggests companies consider buying a work-only computer for employees to break up these two different use cases as a way to minimize risks.“I recommend that every business challenge their suppliers and vendors to ensure all their software and hardware can be implemented in a secure way,” Howard says. “It’s more critical than ever that every endpoint purchase decision should be a security decision.”Besides computers, remote workers need to take a careful look at the rest of the home hardware they are using. For example, employees should lock down their routers with unique passwords since hackers attack routers constantly.“It’s very easy to get into your PC through your router,” Singh says. “When you get infected at work, the IT department takes your PC off the grid so you can’t infect others, but when you get infected at home, the chance for you to be the host that takes the entire company down is very high.”Remote workers should also consider putting any connected devices like smartthermostats or voice assistants on a separate wireless network and creating adedicated one for their work computer if their home router supports it. Printers, which are connected to the internet but often overlooked, should also go on the separate network since they are regularly targeted in hacks. If employees need to keep a printer online at home, they need to make sure the device has up-to-date firmware and any patches the manufacturer has released to keep it secure.Deflect attacks with software solutions The next best thing to a secure office is a virtual private network, or a VPN. Hamilton suggests companies provide VPN access so users can connect to work networks to send and receive files, data, and applications from anywhere, securely. Another way to protect data on a computer is with virtual “containers” that can isolate any potential malware and keep it off of a computer. HP is offering its version of the technology called HP Sure Click Pro, a tool that helps protect from web, email, and document-based security threats, free of charge through September 30 for HP and non- HP Windows 10 PC users. Even for HP Sure Click users, the pro version will enhance the experience with additional features, such as editing Word and Excel documents within an isolated container.Another software service that many companies need to consider will be remotemonitoring, in which a security team keeps track of threats and shuts them down. In a time when many companies are seeing a drop in business, it might seem like a steep expense, but not spending the money now could lead to an even costlier mistake.“You can do everything to protect yourself, but [attacks] are going to happen, and you have to be able to detect and respond,” Hamilton says. “If you get a bad piece of malware right now, you’re done.”IT workers might need extra check-ins to confirm they aren’t overwhelmed as they work to protect a suddenly dispersed workforce while potentially working from home themselves.“Pushing everyone remote essentially overnight and then having to maintain security is a huge challenge, and companies need to continue to praise them and give them the tools that they need,” Howard says. “They are all heroes.”Allow Genesis Technologies to work with you on your digital security practices and show you how HP solutions can help.

In the past, the only option businesses had was to purchase their printers, MFPs, copiers, and related supplies from a copier vendor. The vendor provided the hardware and usually repair and maintenance services, but that was the end of their involvement.
