Abstract:
Remote work has become an integral part of the modern business landscape, increasing the reliance on cloud-based storage and backup solutions. However, the rise of cyber threats necessitates robust security strategies to protect sensitive data. This paper explores a structured framework integrating encryption and multi-factor authentication (MFA) for enhancing backup security in remote work environments. It discusses various encryption methods, key management strategies, and MFA implementations that bolster security against unauthorized access and cyberattacks. A comparative analysis of existing solutions, case studies, and experimental evaluations highlights the effectiveness of the proposed framework. The study also presents best practices for organizations to optimize data protection while maintaining accessibility and compliance with industry standards.

Keywords: Remote Work, Backup Security, Encryption, Multi-Factor Authentication, Cybersecurity, Cloud Storage, Data Protection.
