The characteristics of smartwork security compare to traditional telework

Abstract

Smartwork has been thought to satisfy both employee and company's interests. Nonetheless, there are critical barriers of introducing smartwork because of security problem. In order to derive threats and vulnerabilities of smartwork, we derive threats through structured interview with heavy users or designers of smartwork, then verify the derived threats by survey. Three layers, which are devices/networks/servers, are proposed as a common framework for analyzing characteristics of two types of smartwork.
