A decentralized work environment makes it easier for criminals to target employees through private social channels, as the employee does not feel that they are being watched as closely as they would in a busy office setting.

Not every employee affected by a restructuring suddenly becomes a bad guy, but security leaders should work with Human Resources or People Operations and people managers to make them aware of this type of criminal scheme, so that they can take the necessary steps to offer support to employees who could be affected by such organizational or personal matters.

If an employee is approached - by a cybercriminal or someone they know - about sharing their credentials to gain unauthorized access to the company network, what should they do? Contact their manager? The IT department? Whatever the official escalation process is in your organization, make sure it's clear and well understood: make it easy for employees to do the right thing.

The security team can ensure that the application is tested as part of the selection process and meets the requirements of the configuration checklist based on internal security policies.

These are just some examples of the threats security teams can expect to spend their time thwarting in 2023.

In many cases, it takes just a few small steps to make a world of difference in your overall security posture and ability to keep sensitive data safe and out of the hands of cybercriminals.
