New research shows almost three quarters of large businesses believe remote working policies introduced to help stop the spread of COVID-19 are making their companies more vulnerable to cyberattacks.

You need to take steps to protect the remote workforce.

AT&T's study of 800 cybersecurity professionals across the UK, France and Germany shows that while 88% initially felt well prepared for the migration, 55% now believe widespread remote working is making their companies more or much more vulnerable to cyberattacks.

While many businesses have introduced new cybersecurity measures to mitigate risks since the onset of COVID-19, a large minority have not taken basic steps to protect a suddenly remote workforce.

"This is the time to put robust security measures into place that will protect employees and companies for the opportunities and challenges of the future."
