Innovative Approaches to Risk Management
The implementation of the Island Enterprise Browser is a pivotal part of the cybersecurity strategy at Teleperformance, enabling precise control over employee interactions with both corporate and client applications. This browser helps mitigate risks by allowing granular controls, such as restricting functionalities like commenting on YouTube while still permitting access to the platform. Such functionality is essential in preventing potential data leaks and ensuring that sensitive information remains secure. The browser also facilitates secure remote access, allowing employees to efficiently engage with multiple IT environments while minimizing the need for various logins, thus streamlining operations and enhancing security.
Creating a Culture of Security Awareness
