We can be certain that cybercriminals will
adapt their game as they always do. They
will try and exploit our new reliance on
video conferencing software and other
work from home tools because whether we
like it or not, their nefarious activities rely on
such agility.
Cybercriminals will be all too aware that
employees working remotely are no longer
going to be under the comprehensive
supervision of their IT teams. They will
be hoping that individuals working from
home will drop their guard when it comes
to security.
Employers will need to think long and hard
about educating their employees in the
new ways of working and they will need
to ensure they have the right technology
in place to ensure their business is both
operationally efficient and resilient in terms
of cybersecurity.
This includes a greater emphasis on cloud
security since we are now more reliant on the
cloud than ever before. This is true if we have
any hope of succeeding in decreasing the
threat surface that has been increasing in
size since the beginning of the pandemic.
