When a telework device uses remote access, it is essentially a logical extension of the organizations own network. Therefore, if the telework device is not secured properly, it poses additional risk to not only the information that the teleworker accesses but also the organizations other systems and networks. For example, a telework device infected with a worm could spread the worm through remote access to the organizations internal computers. Therefore, telework devices should be secured properlyand have their security maintained regularly.
