A new report from Kaspersky shows that employers are failing to prepare their workers for any and all cybersecurity risks present when handling enterprise business at home.
In the report, 73% of the 6,000 employees who spoke with Kaspersky researchers said they have "Have not yet received any specific cybersecurity awareness guidance or training from their employer." SEE: Security Awareness and Training policy.
"While employees are trying to get used to the new reality of working from home, IT and cybersecurity teams are under pressure to enable them to continue working safely."
The Kaspersky report shows that many businesses are still failing to prepare their employees for the various threats that have only increased since cybercriminals have increased efforts to take advantage of people working from home.
Kaspersky included a number of suggestions in the report that ranged from making sure all employees know who to call in the event of a cybersecurity problem to paying close attention to workers who have to use personal devices.
