Due to the Coronavirus Pandemic (COVID-19) many organizations have triggered their contingency plans and have their employees working remotely.
Incredibly, many of these plans did not provide for a scenario where 100% of their employees would work remotely and indefinitely (not to mention that many organizations either had contingency or business continuity plans).
This brought to the Information Technology area the challenge of quickly deploying new systems that allow remote operation, and in return for Information Security, new risks and systems to control.
To help this wave of remote collaborators, many companies are offering free licenses in this period in a collaborative way for that moment.
SAFEWAY has created a simple and organized list of cybersecurity and communication tools, which can be interesting for any business right now.
Safeway is also collaboratively offering companies important assistance in mitigating risks and reducing exposure at this time. We offer a free evaluation of your networks and remote connections as well as your workstations.
