The shift to remote work has brought numerous changes to the professional landscape. Still, one often overlooked aspect is the need for robust security measures to protect employees and organizations. In this episode, we discuss the crucial topic of cybersecurity in the era of remote work with Alec Nuñez, Director of Business Compliance at Poll Everywhere. With many organizations transitioning to hybrid or fully remote work models, ensuring proper security protocols are in place has never been more important. In fact, only 32% of companies with existing cybersecurity plans updated their security measures after shifting to a remote work model, leaving them vulnerable to a range of cyber threats. Alec shares his valuable insights and experiences, as Poll Everywhere has been a hybrid company since its inception in 2007 and is now fully remote.

In this episode, we cover the importance of updating security protocols for remote and hybrid work environments and the challenges and risks faced by organizations that don't prioritize cybersecurity in a remote work setting. Alec shares his firsthand experience with Poll Everywhere's transition from hybrid to fully remote work and the security measures they implemented. He also shares practical steps and best practices for organizations to bolster and maintain security for their remote workforce.
