Strengthen Remote IT Security with TeamViewer
Common remote IT security struggles and how to fix them
The rise of remote and hybrid work has transformed the way we operate — but it also challenges how we protect our digital infrastructure.
When employees connect from various locations and devices, traditional centralized security models are no longer enough. Many organizations now find themselves exposed to new and growing cyber risks.
In its latest insights, TeamViewer outlines the five most common IT security struggles faced in remote work scenarios – and more importantly, how to overcome them effectively.
First, fragmented technologies and inconsistent security policies make it difficult to ensure unified protection. Teams often use a mix of platforms and tools, especially in distributed environments, which leads to gaps and vulnerabilities.
Second, authentication practices are often insufficient. Without strong, consistent access control – especially on unmanaged or personal devices – the risk of unauthorized access increases dramatically.
Third, unsecured endpoints continue to be an Achilles' heel. Each device connected remotely is a potential entry point for attackers, unless properly secured and continuously monitored.
Fourth, handling sensitive data across multiple environments poses serious data protection risks. If organizations lack clear data governance and compliance practices, they may be exposed to legal and reputational consequences.
Finally, network vulnerabilities emerge when staff connect from diverse, often unsecured networks. Traditional perimeter defenses can’t handle this complexity on their own.
So how can you close these gaps?
TeamViewer recommends a strategic, layered security approach that includes:
Unified policies and technologies across all teams and devices
Strong authentication practices like MFA and PAM
Endpoint protection through remote management and monitoring
Clear data handling procedures and encryption
Secure network access with VPN and Zero Trust models
With the right strategy and tools in place, companies can reduce security risks while enabling the flexibility, mobility, and efficiency that modern work demands.
