SECURITY OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES IN A HYBRID WORKING ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

The article discusses the main aspects of information technology security in a hybrid working environment. With the rapid rise in popularity of remote work, traditional workplace security standards have been proven to be inadequate, creating a real need for effective cyber security measures. remote work has become the norm for many companies, but with it the threat of cyberattacks has also increased. Features and risks associated with the organization of a hybrid work environment caused by remote employment are considered, as well as methods of ensuring safety in such a work environment are investigated. The main problems that arise and need to be prevented have been identified. It has been proven that one of the key areas is to securely connect to corporate networks from remote locations. It has been established that traditional VPN methods can be ineffective or insufficiently secure in conditions of large-scale use, so it is necessary to use modern means of traffic encryption and authentication mechanisms, which aim to organize the protection of access to corporate resources. The article examines the content of the constituent components that are responsible for the security of the endpoint. Requirements are defined that allow access to update and modify the software and operating systems of remote devices, which is a special parts of the proposed strategy that meets data security for operation in a hybrid environment. The determining motives of the implementation of the main structural component mechanisms of data access control and the possibility of remote shutdown of devices in the event of emotional actions have been studied. data protection plays a crucial role in remote work. The indisputability of the need to design and implement a system for protecting all remote resources, means of recognizing and identifying suspicious messages and links, as well as the use of reliable passwords and two-factor authentication has been proven and substantiated.
