SOLUTION · IT & CYBERSECURITY
Remote work security.
Once staff work outside the office, you lose the protections a locked-down network used to provide by default. We rebuild those protections around the person and the device, wherever they are.
Cyber6 is an AI & technology partner: we automate the work slowing businesses down, protect them with IT & cybersecurity, and train their people.
WHAT'S REALLY HAPPENING
How remote work turns into a way in
It rarely looks dangerous in the moment. It looks like a normal workday from home.
STEP 01
Work happens on a personal laptop
An employee works from a personal laptop that has never been managed or patched by the business.
STEP 02
The connection isn't protected
They connect to your systems from a coffee shop or hotel network that anyone else on the network can also use.
STEP 03
A password gets reused
A password is reused from another site that gets breached, and there is no second step to stop the login.
STEP 04
Someone leaves, and access stays
The employee leaves the company, and their access to email, files, and business systems is never fully removed.
STEP 05
The forgotten account gets used
Months later, that account or device is the one an attacker finds and uses to get into your systems.

WHY IT HAPPENS
Four gaps behind most remote access exposure.
Select a cause to see the problems it creates for your team.
- Personal devices, no oversight: A laptop the business doesn't manage can't be patched, monitored, or wiped if it's lost or compromised. Leads to: Unmanaged devices, No visibility.
- No standard for remote connections: Without a company-wide way to connect, everyone relies on whatever Wi-Fi is available. Leads to: Exposed logins, Inconsistent protection.
- No offboarding checklist: Without a written process, removing access after someone leaves depends on someone remembering to do it. Leads to: Lingering access, No visibility.
- No access review: Nobody regularly checks who still has remote access, so old accounts and unused permissions pile up. Leads to: Lingering access, Inconsistent protection.

WHO IT HITS HARDEST
Where remote work risk hits the hardest.
SCENARIO
Professional services firms
Consultants and advisors work from client sites and home offices, often on their own devices.
See the professional services firms pageProfessional services firms
Consultants and advisors work from client sites and home offices, often on their own devices.
Industry pageSoftware teams
Fully remote teams handle client data from laptops scattered across many locations.
Industry pageFinancial advisors
Advisors working from home still handle client financial data covered by regulator expectations.
Industry pageGrowing companies with no IT policy
As hiring outpaces process, remote access rules never get written down.
SIGNS THIS IS HAPPENING TO YOU
Six questions show how exposed your remote team is.
One question at a time. The gauge moves as you answer.

LINE ITEM
CATEGORY
- 01RISK
A personal device is a blind spot
You can't patch, monitor, or wipe a laptop you don't manage, so if it's compromised, you may not find out until something happens in your systems.
- 02RISK
Public networks expose logins
Hotel and coffee shop Wi-Fi can let someone else on the same network intercept unprotected traffic, including passwords.
- 03RISK
Lingering access after someone leaves
Every day a former employee's login stays active is a day someone outside the company could still get in.
- 04RISK
Inconsistent protection across the team
One person's laptop might be fully protected while another's isn't, so your actual security is only as strong as the weakest device.
- 05COMPLIANCE
Client and contract requirements
Some clients and industries now require proof of secure remote access before they'll sign or renew a contract.
HOW CYBER6 FIXES IT
Protection that travels with the device and the person.
IT & Cybersecurity does most of the work here. Select any piece to see what it does.
IT & CYBERSECURITY
Manage every device
We enroll laptops and phones, including company-owned and approved personal devices, so they're patched, encrypted, and can be located or wiped if lost.
WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOUA lost or stolen laptop doesn't automatically mean a data breach.
TRAINING
- IT & CYBERSECURITY: Manage every device. We enroll laptops and phones, including company-owned and approved personal devices, so they're patched, encrypted, and can be located or wiped if lost. A lost or stolen laptop doesn't automatically mean a data breach.
- IT & CYBERSECURITY: Secure the connection. Staff connect to business systems the same protected way whether they're at home, at a client site, or on the road. The office firewall stops mattering as much, because the connection itself is protected.
- IT & CYBERSECURITY: Stop stolen passwords at the door. Multi-factor authentication on email, file storage, and business systems means a password alone isn't enough to get in. A leaked password from another site stops being a way in.
- IT & CYBERSECURITY: A secure browser for sensitive systems. For the most sensitive systems, a secure browser separates business activity from whatever else is happening on the device. Sensitive systems stay protected even on a device you don't fully control.
- IT & CYBERSECURITY: Remove access the day someone leaves. A checklist and automated steps disable email, file access, and system logins the day an employee's relationship ends. Access ends when the employment does.
- TRAINING: Short remote-work training. A brief session shows staff how to use approved connections and spot a suspicious Wi-Fi network. Fewer risky shortcuts on the road.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Everything we set up, in the order we set it up.
Six pieces, set up in this order during your first weeks.
01
Access review
We review who has remote access today and what devices they use.
02
Device enrollment
Devices are enrolled in management with patching and encryption enabled.
03
Secure connections
Secure remote access is set up for every remote or hybrid employee.
04
Multi-factor authentication
A second login step is turned on for remote access.
05
Offboarding checklist
A written process removes access on the employee's last day.
06
Quarterly access review
We review who still needs remote access on a regular schedule.
BEFORE AND AFTER
Remote access, two ways.
| A typical Monday without Cyber6 | A typical Monday with Cyber6 |
|---|---|
| Personal laptops with no oversight | Every device enrolled, patched, and able to be wiped |
| Any Wi-Fi network, no protection | Secure connection to business systems from anywhere |
| Password-only logins | Multi-factor authentication on remote access |
| Access removed weeks after someone leaves | Access removed the day someone leaves |
| No list of who has remote access | A current, reviewed list of remote access by person |
| Sensitive files emailed to personal accounts | A secure, approved way to work on files remotely |
NO PROTECTION IS PERFECT
If something happens anyway
No setup can promise a device is never lost or a password never reused. What matters is how fast it's caught.
- 1
Detect
Unusual login activity, such as a login from an unexpected location, is flagged for review.
- 2
Contain
The affected account or device is locked or disconnected from business systems.
- 3
Recover
Access is restored on a clean, verified device, and passwords are reset.
- 4
Report
We document what happened and what data, if any, may have been exposed.
- 5
Learn
We tighten the specific gap, whether it's a device, a network, or an overdue access review.

WHY CYBER6
Why Cyber6 for remote work security
01
Protection around the person, not the building
Security travels with the device and the login, wherever the work happens.
02
Fast, reliable offboarding
A checklist and automation remove access the day someone leaves, not weeks later.
03
Works with personal and company devices
We can manage company-owned devices or approved personal ones, whichever fits your team.
04
One partner for remote and office security
The same team can extend this protection to your office network and IT.
QUESTIONS
Questions people ask
Not necessarily. We can also enroll and manage approved personal devices, though a dedicated company device is usually simpler to secure for anyone with regular access to sensitive systems.
Most people don't notice a difference. Secure connections and device management are built to run in the background.
The same principles apply. We can set up limited, time-bound access for contractors and make sure it's removed automatically when the engagement ends.
A VPN protects the connection, but it doesn't manage the device, enforce multi-factor authentication, or handle offboarding. It's usually one piece of a larger setup, not the whole thing.
Yes, with mobile device management in place so a lost or stolen phone doesn't put company email and files at risk.
With the checklist and automation we set up, access removal can typically happen the same day, often within minutes of HR confirming the departure.
Yes. Everything here is designed to work whether staff are fully remote, hybrid, or occasionally in an office.
A managed device can be located, locked, or wiped remotely, so the data on it doesn't become a breach.
