Security News > 2021 > January > Malware incidents on remote devices increase

52% of organizations experienced a malware incident on remote devices in 2020, up from 37% in 2019, a Wandera report reveals.

Of devices compromised by malware in 2020, 37% continued accessing corporate emails after being compromised and 11% continued accessing cloud storage, highlighting a need for organizations to better determine how to configure business tools to ensure fast and safe connectivity for all users in 2021.

Roid devices were 5.3x more likely to have a vulnerable app installed than iOS devices.

15% of organizations had at least one device using an app that leaked password data, up from 11% in 2019.

"2020 saw businesses struggle to transition to fully remote operations while maintaining productivity and security. Now, more than ever, it's clear that secure remote access is imperative for organizations across industries," said Eldar Tuvey, CEO at Wandera.

"As we embrace a new era of work, legacy remote access tools should be abandoned in favor of a modern SASE security strategy based on zero trust network access."
