Security concerns increase as working from home continue

It is very important that not only your information security management is up to international standards but also your employees as well as your stakeholders have adequate cybersecurity training.

From a fake Whatsapp message claiming that he’s the CEO of the organisation who forgot the password for a service to a phishing email that seems like you received from a supplier or a colleague, digital threats don’t always come as sophisticated hacker attacks.

According to a recent survey by Hayes Connor Solicitors, 1 in 5 workers who work from home never received any training on cybersecurity.
