When employees work from home, they need access to important company files. It’s easy to look at consumer-grade cloud file sharing solutions like Dropbox, OneDrive and Google Drive.
But listen up!
These applications pose a huge threat to your company because company data can be spread far and wide without central oversight of what information is being shared with whom. Further, over 7 million Dropbox accounts have been hacked, giving cybercriminals a path into the company’s network.
This is even more important if your company has access to and/or stores financial, medical or other sensitive data. Using file-sharing applications like these are a clear and direct violation of data breach and compliance laws.
Simply put: DON’T USE THEM FOR COMPANY DATA and only use company-approved, business-grade, file-sharing applications.
