Tech inventions have helped, t<\/strong>oo<\/strong><\/h2>\nAs you can see, remote working only really became possible after cloud computing<\/a> was widely adopted. But there have been numerous technological advancements that have helped facilitate this trend. Here are the key ones:<\/p>\nMobile phones<\/strong><\/h3>\nWe love them, don\u2019t we? They\u2019ve come a long way from the bricks of yesteryear, mind. Now, our trusty tablets and smartphones keep us connected wherever we go.<\/p>\n
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) culture<\/strong><\/h3>\nYou, the airport, and the ability to access work emails from your own phone. BYOD culture means workers can stay on top of their work, wherever they are, right at their fingertips.<\/p>\n
Collaboration apps<\/strong><\/h3>\nPlatforms like Slack and Sharepoint allow remote workers to stay connected globally, and with the trusted help of cloud SaaS (software-as-a-service) solutions like Google Docs, you can work on documents and projects in sweet harmony from opposite sides of the world.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Co-working spaces<\/strong><\/h3>\nYou know the ones. A home away from home for many modern-day remote workers. More often than not, these buildings are beautifully decorated with enough \u2018breakout spaces\u2019 to host everyone in a small business at once. Probably why they\u2019re so expensive.<\/p>\n
Virtual reality<\/strong><\/h3>\nWhaaaaaat?! You heard right. Soon cometh the emergence of virtual-reality meetings. Just strap on a VR headset, dress your avatar for the occasion (no, not in the pajamas you\u2019re wearing!) and connect with colleagues from the comfort of your sofa. No more muffled conference calls (and no barking-dog-in-the-background avatar. Maybe). This is the future.<\/p>\n
Work anywhere, secure everywhere<\/strong><\/h2>\nThis is all well and good. But with the proliferation of remote working and flexible-working arrangements<\/a>, what\u2019s the impact on cybersecurity? From malware and ransomware to decentralizing control of your IT networks, there are a few critical things you\u2019ll need to do to protect your business.<\/p>\n
