COVID-19 Cybersecurity Threats and Vulnerabilities
Working from home has become the new norm for almost all
organizations, due to the recent COVID-19 pandemic outbreak.
Employees are now working from home using a range of devices,
whether personal or provided by their organization. Many
organizations are focusing on their business continuity plans
allowing them to remain fit for purpose; thus, being able to
continue offering their services without any disruption or delay.
However, this prioritization of operational continuity may lead to
the organization neglecting any security vulnerabilities that might
have arisen during the implementation of contingency plans.
A vulnerability on a home device that acts as a medium to a
corporate infrastructure (files, servers, emails, etc.) might lead
to a security breach and cause significant damage to your
organization, both in terms of finances as well as its
reputation.
