Security News > 2020 > May > Mitigating cybersecurity risks for employees working remotely

With an increased risk of employees falling prey to cyber attacks, business leaders must leverage new policies and technologies to keep their companies and employees safe.

Having these safeguards in place can ensure employees will not need to replace or reinstall hardware, provide detection and automatic recovery of the firmware system in the case of BIOS corruption or compromise due to malware, and provide a peace of mind.

Employees must be diligent in making sure that they are not logging onto the wrong Wi-Fi. IT specialists should continue to hold employee training sessions on the danger of unsecured access points.

While COVID-19 has challenged businesses to think about security in a new way, the risks will not vanish once employees start getting back to the workplace.

If any machines were compromised while employees worked from home, once reconnected to the corporate network those machines can offer cybercriminals a door into your business.
