It’s that time of year again for the Dynamic Communities Summit North America conference coming up the week of October 5th – 9th. Obviously this year will be slightly different as the entire conference will be virtual but I will again be presenting a number of sessions (with some help from a colleague of mine Frank Vukovits).

Maintaining Strong Security In The Work From Home World
Some companies allowed remote workers in the past, yet others have not until the Coronavirus arrived. Security and access to data, like the rest of your business processes, needs to now be looked at a bit differently. The good news is that it’s likely your company has many techniques in place already, or ready to implement. However, some controls are often overlooked, and a since ‘a chain is only as strong as its weakest link,’ it’s critical all security controls are addressed. Discover commonly overlooked controls and the steps to ensure security is not compromised with a remote work force.
