The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the trend towards remote work, with many companies embracing this new way of working. While remote work offers numerous benefits, it also presents unique cybersecurity challenges. At SafeNet, we understand the importance of cybersecurity in enabling and securing the future of remote work.
Cybersecurity Challenges in Remote Work
- Increased Attack Surface: Remote work environments often lack the security measures present in traditional office settings, increasing the potential attack surface for cyber threats.
- Phishing and Social Engineering: Cybercriminals are increasingly using phishing and social engineering attacks to exploit remote workers who may be less vigilant in a remote setting.
- Insecure Networks: Remote workers often connect to company networks using insecure public or home networks, which can be easily compromised by attackers.
- Endpoint Security: Securing remote endpoints, such as laptops and mobile devices, is crucial to prevent unauthorized access to company data.
