All is not doom and gloom when every news article is centred around COVID-19, there are important things that you might be missing such as, the security of your business.
This year we celebrated the first-ever World Cyber Protection Week. An initiative to evolve your defences with an integrated, modern approach. With your team working from remote locations using individual laptops and accessing your sensitive data from varied locations, the need for security has now become a priority. Hackers are targeting this dependence on digital tools and the flaws in the infrastructure with the sudden and unprecedented shift.
Several phishing emails and messages (containing infected files) relating to coronavirus alerts are doing rounds on the internet. With a single click, your company’s security can be compromised.
At an unprecedented time, an unprecedented approach is needed.
