Protection from Phishing and Ransomware
The hackers and attackers of the cyber world have already started taking advantage of the corporate employees, knowing that they are working from home, and are not protected by the cybersecurity risk management of companies anymore. Employees are not able to comprehend the potential threats and authenticity of the requests, needing a remote work cybersecurity in place. Employees should be given enough training to deal with such threats like phishing, malware, and ransomware, and they should know the damage it can do to the system. Policies to deal with cyber-attacks should be in place, and someone from the information technology team should be appointed to help the members in times of need. InfomazeOne’s security and risk management services help to prevent cyberattacks.
Use of Personal Systems
Many companies have made provisions for the remote work for employees. This has increased the COVID-19’s impact on Cybersecurity. However, managing cyber risk is difficult as the employees are allowed to use their own devices. When these personal devices access the company network, it can be really harmful to the infrastructure of the company. Over and above the phones and computers, storage devices that are connected to the network are potential IT security threats to the organizations. And hence, before such devices are brought in the office and integrated into the network, any potential threat of the malware or ransomware should be checked by the IT team and a segregated network should be allotted for these devices not owned and regulated by the company.
