Covid exposes biggest cyber vulnerability - the workforce

How secure is email for sharing sensitive information? Since the lockdown began cyberattacks targeting home workers increased from 12% of malicious email traffic to more than 60%. Traditional defensive and office-based security models are no longer valid, and with such a drastic transformation to remote working, the cyber risks have increased substantially.
​
2/3 of remote workers lack the basic cyber training needed to spot a cyber-attack, meaning they are more likely be victim to attacks, especially when not working from their usual office environment. The COVID-19 induced remote working has provided a golden opportunity for cyber criminals to target one of businesses’ biggest cyber vulnerabilities – the workforce.
