Working remotely is associated with an increase in cyberattacks, warn USPA Cyber Security Experts



The benefits of working remotely are numerous, however, cyberattacks have been on the rise in recent years. According to USPA Nationwide Security cyber security experts, the increased use of collaboration platforms has increased the possibility of hackers targeting their users. The organization should therefore focus on protecting its remote workforce from cyberattacks. The good news is that there are a number of ways to accomplish this, including training remote employees and implementing cybersecurity policies.

The results of a recent survey indicate that one-fourth of employees are concerned about cyber security when working from home. Many people report receiving spam and fraudulent emails as a result of phishing and scams. Sadly, many of them do not take adequate precautions against these threats.

The software programs used by workers operating from home may not be protected by a firewall

It is becoming increasingly common for home computers to be attacked by cybercriminals. The majority of home computers are not protected by a firewall, which makes them vulnerable to hackers. A hacker who discovers such a vulnerability waits for an opportunity to exploit it. Therefore, they attack unprotected home computers.

Poor implementation of remote access solutions can also pose a serious security risk. Faulty configurations are inevitable, especially when remote infrastructure is being deployed under time pressure. This will result in a dramatic increase in cyberattacks and infringements. In addition, employees are not accustomed to working from home, are often distracted by personal devices, and don't think about protecting their work-related information. As a result, unsecured devices are usually attacked within a short period of time.

Several companies are utilizing remote working methods in order to increase their efficiency, but the danger is not limited to the convenience factor. It is common for employees to lack the necessary tools to protect their data. Many employees do not know how to secure their work-related devices and are not sure who to contact in the event of an unusual incident. As a result of the fact that they do not have adequate security measures to protect their data, home workers are also more vulnerable to cyber-attacks. Furthermore, there is a risk of malware being transmitted via email. Additionally, family members may use the equipment to conduct quick internet searches.

Hundreds of studies and millions of data points related to remote and hybrid work have been analyzed by the Alliance for Connected Work. Despite employees' willingness to accept pay cuts and reduced benefits for working from home, commuting costs are higher than those of working in a traditional office. Employers who offer virtual work options report a higher quality candidate pool despite these costs. Cybercriminals are targeting remote workers, resulting in a 238% increase in
cyberattacks.

Protecting software, hardware, and data systems by hiring a cyber security firm
Although these risks exist, most organizations have put in place cyber security measures for their employees who operate from home. According to a recent survey, nearly half of the survey respondents reported being more productive when working from home, while 25% reported decreased productivity when doing so from home. Working from home has many advantages, but it also presents its own challenges, such as limited IT tools, privacy concerns, and interruptions to family life.
