Protecting sensitive
information with a
remote workforce
SEPTEMBER 10
3 ET / 2 CT
" Maybe it comes from being at home and working
in your sweatpants, but employees tend to be a bit
more lax about security when they're outside the
office, " observes Brendon Liner, vice president at
Nology Networks, a managed cybersecurity and
technology consultancy based in Minneapolis.
He emphasizes that community bank employees
working from home need the right procedures and
technologies to safeguard sensitive information.
Liner recommends that community banks:
Q Implement VPNs, or virtual private networks.
Setting up a VPN is easier than it sounds,
generally requiring just a few days of work by a
consultant and a price tag of " a couple thousand
dollars, " he says.
Q Require multifactor authentication for internal
technologies, from email and file management
systems to customer records. Community banks
have insisted that customers confirm their
identities with multifactor authentication (those
four- or six-digit codes sent to an independent
device) but have not held employees to the
same standard, Liner says. He explains that
multifactor authentication is easily implemented
and not particularly costly, running around $6
per user.
" Two years ago, " Liner says, " the Department of
Homeland Security said that every business should
have multifactor authentication turned on for every
possible service. And we see two years later ...
less than 10% of businesses are actually deploying
that technology. "
Finally, Liner urges community bankers to
shore up security now in case a second wave of
coronavirus hits. " It's unfortunate, " he says, " but
there are hackers and bad actors out there taking
advantage of the pandemic and civil unrest. ... Now
is the time to take a step back and be prepared in
case something like this happens again. "
