While we have seen an expected spike in attacks targeting novice remote workers and vulnerable devices to gain network access, we are also beginning to see new attacks targeting connected home networks.

Many of the attacks against home networks focused on exploiting older, more vulnerable devices such as home routers and entertainment systems.

In the last several years, the traditional network perimeter has been replaced with multiple edge environments - data center, WAN, multi-cloud, IoT, remote workers and more - each with its unique risks.

Corporate network attacks launched from a remote worker's home network, especially when usage trends are clearly understood, can be carefully coordinated so they don't sound an alarm.

As organizations light up heatmaps of currently active threats, intelligent systems will be able to proactively obscure network targets and place attractive decoys along attack paths.
