If your organization was an early cloud adopter, you are likely in a good position with the current COVID-19 pandemic. For years we have touted the agility and convenience of cloud. Thankfully, it holds true. When the states made the decision for everyone to stay at home, companies were able to send their workers home with cloud services. But how secure is that? Can you rely on the security from the cloud provider when your workers are logging in from a home network? Do they have the bandwidth to cover your employees? What about the sudden influx of everyone else? How do we ensure our fledgling remote workers are being secure out in the wild?
