When a team member neglects remote access security protocols, respond with a measured, corrective approach: Address Immediately: Privately discuss the lapse to understand if it was due to lack of awareness or negligence. Reinforce Training: Provide targeted security awareness training to highlight the risks of non-compliance. Limit Access if Needed: Restrict privileges until the employee demonstrates compliance. Implement Automated Security Measures: Enforce MFA, session timeouts, and access monitoring to reduce risks. Establish Accountability: Set clear consequences for repeated violations while fostering a culture of responsibility. Encourage Reporting: Promote open communication so employees feel comfortable.

If you have written policies requiring use of specific remote access tools or protocols, those must be enforceable by the system, and not require the obedience of staff. If controls are being circumvented, make sure the remote access tools are convenient and functional enough to empower staff and vendors. Also ensure security policies enforce the requirements, even when you aren't looking. Conditional access policies, 802.11x, and endpoint management tools can be helpful here, as well as a robust training process for staff so they know the correct procedures for remote access.

To respond, you need to first ask them why they are neglecting the remote assess security protocols. This is so that you would know the reason behind this. You need to also explain to them why these protocols are important and necessary. This is so that they would know why they need to adhere to these protocols. You need to also make sure that you give them regular training. This is because their lack of knowledge towards this could be the cause of them neglecting these security protocols.
