Isifinyezo sokuqonda

Njengoba ubuchwepheshe besimanje bokusebenzisana bukhuthaza ukwamukelwa kwabasebenzi abakude kakhulu nabasabalaliswayo, ubuchwepheshe bolwazi (IT) ngeke busabekwa endaweni eyodwa noma esakhiweni esisodwa. Lolu shintsho lwenza kube nzima eminyangweni ye-IT ukuvikela izinhlelo zenkampani kanye namaketanga okuhlinzeka. Ngenxa yokukhula kwezinsongo ze-cybersecurity, ochwepheshe be-IT basebenzela ukuthola izindlela ezintsha zokuvikela abasebenzi babo abakude nengqalasizinda yangaphandle.

Ukuvikela ingqalasizinda esabalalisiwe

Ukuvalwa kobhubhane lwe-COVID-19 kubonise ukuthi ukwakheka okubiyelwe kwamanethiwekhi amabhizinisi kuya ngokuya kungasasebenzi. Ngabasebenzi abakude futhi ilethe-yakho-idivayisi (BYOD), akuwona wonke umuntu ongakwazi ukuhlala ngaphakathi kwesistimu yebhizinisi. Ingqalasizinda ehlakazekile noma esabalalisiwe ibangele ukuthi amaqembu ezokuphepha abe nenethiwekhi yokuphepha ebanzi kakhulu futhi ehlukahlukene kakhulu ukuze aqaphe futhi avikele, okwenza umsebenzi ube nzima kodwa ungenzeki. Amathuluzi adingekayo kulolu shintsho ashintshile, kanye nendlela amaqembu e-IT asebenzisa ngayo, aqapha, futhi abuyekeza la mathuluzi.

Ngokusho kukaJeff Wilson, umhlaziyi we-cybersecurity enkampanini yocwaningo lwezobuchwepheshe i-Omdia, kube nokwanda okukhulu kwethrafikhi yenethiwekhi ye-inthanethi ngo-2020, njengoba abantu abaningi besebenza ekhaya futhi besebenzisa izinsizakalo zedijithali. Lokhu kunyuka kwethrafikhi kudale isidingo sezinyathelo zokuphepha ezithuthukisiwe kuwo wonke amaleveli, kusukela ezikhungweni zedatha yamafu kuye ekugcineni. Futhi kusukela ngo-2023, amazinga okusongela ahlala engaphezulu kakhulu kunamazinga angaphambi kwe-COVID njengoba izigebengu ze-inthanethi zisebenzisa ithuba lokuba sengozini yokusebenza kude. 

Lobu buthakathaka bethulwa ngemuva kobhubhane lomhlaba wonke lapho, ngobusuku obubodwa, izinkampani kufanele zithumele abasebenzi bazo ekhaya, iningi labo elalingakaze lisebenze ukude. Amanethiwekhi ayimfihlo abonakalayo (ama-VPN) kudingeke ukuthi afakwe ngokushesha futhi anwetshwe ukuze kuvikelwe lezi zindawo ezintsha. Lolu shintsho luphinde lwaheha ukuhlaselwa kokukhwabanisa kwewebhu kanye nokwenyuka okukhulu kwe-ransomware (kusuka kumaphesenti ayi-6 ngo-2019 kuya kumaphesenti angama-30 ngo-2020).

Umthelela ophazamisayo

Ukuvikela ingqalasizinda esabalalisiwe kubandakanya imodeli entsha, lapho esikhundleni sokuthi abasebenzi bangene ezinhlelweni ezivikelekile, ukuphepha kufanele kudlulele endaweni yokusebenza yabasebenzi. Ngokusho kuka-TK Keanini, oyiChief Technology Officer kwaCisco Security, izinhlelo zeZero Trust zaziwumbono wezemfundo ngaphambi kwalolu bhubhane. Manje, zingokoqobo. Lesi sakhiwo siyindlela entsha eya phambili ngoba, ku-paradigm entsha ye-inthanethi evuna amanethiwekhi, ubunikazi manje sekumele buthathe indawo yamapherimitha. I-Zero Trust ibandakanya uhlobo oluphakeme kakhulu lokuqinisekisa ubuwena, empeleni ukungathembi muntu.

Noma kunjalo, kunezindlela ezimbalwa amabhizinisi angasebenzisa ngazo ukuphepha kuwo wonke amasistimu ahlukene. Eyokuqala iwukuphathwa kwempahla enemininingwane, lapho amafemu ethatha uhlu lwazo zonke izisetshenziswa zawo nemishini, okuhlanganisa nokuthi yiziphi izinhlelo ezisebenza kuzo zonke izinkundla zamafu. Lo msebenzi uhlanganisa ukusebenzisa isixhumi esibonakalayo sohlelo lokusebenza (i-API) ukuze kufakwe kuhlu zonke izisetshenziswa ezitholakalayo kanye nesistimu esekelwe kumenzeli ehlinzeka ngokusungula kwesofthiwe yedivayisi ngayinye. 

Enye indlela esetshenziswa kakhulu ukunamathisela njalo nokuvuselela amasistimu wokusebenza nesoftware. Ukuhlasela okuningi kuqala ngendawo yokugcina yomsebenzisi eveziwe. Isibonelo, othile uletha idivayisi yakhe yomsebenzi (isb., ikhompuyutha ephathekayo, ifoni, ithebulethi) ngaphandle kwehhovisi futhi ukhonjwa noma onakaliswe umhlaseli. Ukuze uvimbele lokhu, ukuchibiyela izindawo zokugcina zabasebenzisi kufanele kube ingxenye yempilo yansuku zonke (ingxenye yesiko lezokuphepha). Ngaphezu kwalokho, izixazululo zokuchibiyela kufanele ziguquguquke ngokwanele ukumboza wonke amaphuzu okungena okungenzeka. Izinhlelo zokusebenza zezinkampani zangaphandle zivame ukushiywa zingaphrintiwe, okuzenza iziqondiso ezivamile zokuhlaselwa.

Imithelela yokuvikela ingqalasizinda esabalalisiwe

Imithelela ebanzi yokuvikela ingqalasizinda esabalalisiwe ingase ihlanganise: 

• Izinkampani nezinsizakalo zomphakathi ziya ngokuya zisebenzisa isistimu ye-cloud-native yokukhipha izibuyekezo zokuphepha kubahlinzeki bamafu.
• Izisebenzi ezikude ziya ngokuya zisebenzisa ukuqinisekiswa kwezinto eziningi, kuhlanganiswe namathokheni nokunye ukuhlonza i-biometric, ukuze bathole ukufinyelela kumasistimu.
• Ukwanda kwezehlakalo zobugebengu bamakhompuyutha eziqondise kubasebenzi abakude noma abasabalalisiwe, ikakhulukazi ezinsizeni ezibalulekile.
• Ukuhlasela kwe-Cyberattas kuyancipha ukugxila enzuzweni yemali kodwa ekuphazamiseni izinsizakalo kanye nokuhlola izindlela ezintsha zokudlula izinhlelo zokuphepha.
• Amanye amabhizinisi akhetha izixazululo ze-hybrid cloud ukuze agcine ulwazi olubucayi nezinqubo kusayithi.

Imibuzo okufanele icatshangelwe

• Uma usebenza ukude, yiziphi izindlela zokuphepha kwekhompuyutha ezisetshenziswa inkampani yakho (ovunyelwe ukwabelana ngazo)?
• Yiziphi ezinye zezindlela ongazivikela ngazo ekuhlaselweni kwe-inthanethi okungaba khona?
