SECURING THE
OFFICE In 2021 the need to make smart decisions on top business priorities and our budgets has never been greater. COVID-19 has had far reaching effects on the world and our daily lives. In terms of cyber risk it has presented a new opportunity to cyber criminals to exploit fears and misinformation. COVID scams relating to the vaccine, fake testing kits, PPE and anything else you could think of have become staples of social engineering and
cyber crime. It has been reported that quarter of COVID-related domains are malicious or suspicious and Google has declared it is the most used phishing topic of all time. Concurrently it has massively accelerated the shift to remote working and changed the way workforce operates possibly forever. This raises the question how do you secure the remote office? Within the first few months of the pandemic the National Cyber Security Centre reported more than 2,000 online scams related to coronavirus. It is hardly surprising that nearly half of organisations (47%) feel more vulnerable since the move to working from home and 21% say they do not understand the protection that is available to their business.
