Ensuring Secure Remote Work Environments

The crisis brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in professional services companies requiring their staff to work remotely. With a majority of their workforce working from home, our client faced challenges in ensuring data security and compliance.

The scenario accelerated the need for a secure computer vision-aided off-premises system that would meet the standards expected from an office environment. As data security plays a critical role in contact center operations, there was a need to monitor the presence of unauthorized personnel, mobile devices, books, and blacklisted objects in remote workspaces.

The client required a solution to authenticate, monitor employees, and deliver real-time violation alerts.

The solution detects, tracks, and verifies human faces in real-time with the help of deep learning neural network architecture to process data models. The anti-spoofing model prevents false facial verification by using a substitute (photo, video, mask) of an authorized person’s face.

Verification checks are performed during login and at regular intervals. The solution also detects objects or devices that are not permitted in the workspace, preventing unauthorized data capture.

• Remote workspace monitoring capabilities offered a high level of visibility into contact center operations and ensured data security
