Employees Sharing Information: Security Risk?
Business security isn’t just for securing your physical space. Solutions like cameras, alarm systems, card access, surveillance, and remote video guarding are very effective for securing your physical business space, indoor and out. But, what about sharing information and all of your internal company workplace documents and projects?
Emailing those large files, and corresponding about internal projects and tasks, can put your company, and your employees, at confidentiality risks. Employees, just trying to collaborate, and do their jobs, can inadvertently expose your company’s proprietary information. According to the Department of Homeland Security, you should never click on links, or open attachments, in emails.
So, how does a company who wants to have employees easily collaborate, and have quick and simple access remotely to projects, files, general correspondence, and sharing information solve this problem?
Actually, it’s very simple…
Companies wanting to ensure their shared information is secure employ a strong File Sync and Sharing Tool (FSS). There are several out there, but our personal favorite is Autotask Workplace, and we’ve been using it for years. This “built for business” solution has configurable security and easy remote access to files for data management and business continuity. It helps our company be more productive and do business faster through secure access to any type of business content, from any location….and, yes, using any device.
Employees need to access files easily and securely from wherever their work takes them. More than 150,000 businesses trust Autotask Workplace every day for their file sharing and collaboration needs. We know why. Having your files easily accessible, secure, and shareable, is what every business, big and small, needs.
With mobile use increasing and access to viral networks the new norm, the sheer amount of digital information employees want to access and share across multiple mobile devices is growing dramatically. Workers in all types of organizations, whether mobile or onsite, now expect complete flexibility in which device they choose to use and seamless access and transfer of documents between colleagues and partners, regardless of the device their external contacts may be using. If your organization is like ours, you need complete control of those devices and how your users are using them to protect your corporate data from security risks.
With the continued increase of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) and remote and mobile workforces, users need to work and collaborate efficiently, and IT support needs to securely manage the flood of user devices and content. When your organization deploys new services, integration with existing systems is critical.
Autotask Workplace is a complete, secure file sharing and collaboration solution that enables your team members to safely access, manage, organize and share files from any device, anywhere. It enables productivity by allowing individuals or teams to work on any documents or digital content – from their device – in real time, without fear of security breaches. Autotask Workplace also gives employees built-in security controls that can be set up based on how they need to share information with team members.
