Schools are closing, cultural and sports events are being canceled, employers are sending employees to the home office. In particular, the latter measure hides an inconspicuous threat that we do not even realize during normal working days when there is no pandemic around us – remote access to school, and corporate networks can be a gateway for cybercriminals. They do not stop at anything and take our unpreparedness as their opportunity. Many employees are used to the protection provided by the company or school network, and some will use remote access for the first time.
Working out or studying from home for the first time can be daunting, especially for those who don’t have the IT support they’re used to. Connecting remotely to school or work networks offers flexibility in where and how we work, but it can also pose potential security risks.
“We recommend that organizations be especially vigilant at this time and ensure that those who use remote access are also vigilant. Organizations should also have clear communication with employees so that they are aware of the risks and do everything in their power to ensure remote access for people who isolate or connect from home. In addition to the increase in teleworking, we have also captured the activities of cybercriminals who try to feed on the virus and hide malicious files in disease-related documents. In this opportunistic approach of criminals associated with changes in work habits, it is reasonable for companies to be extremely vigilant.
