Cybersecurity in the era of Remote Work: Redefining Corporate Security Policies for Distributed Workforce

The shift in paradigm to remote and hybrid work has irrevocably changed corporate cybersecurity systems where traditional security models that depended on perimeter-based and centralized defenses have to be overhauled. In this paper, the reshaping of the cybersecurity landscape by dispersed teams is examined, and a propositions-based comprehensive framework, which is multi-faceted (in terms of technological, organizational, human, and regulatory dimensions) has been proposed, which enables the securement of globally distributed workforces. The concept of socio-technical theory and resilience models are used to formulate the study based on specific and targeted research questions and hypothesis testing on literature synthesis and conceptualization. The identification of identity-centric defenses, adaptive governance, behavior-aware training, and regulatory harmony, as central to resilient security are outlined in the findings. The contributions cover steps of actionable intelligence that fit various organizational settings and a roadmap to future learning in a changing remote-first world.
