Security Solutions For Everyone

Why Remote Work is Making Cyber Security More Important Than Ever Before
With more workers setting up shop in their homes due to coronavirus, protecting the network is becoming imperative for companies, especially for industries with protected data. Working remotely leaves networks vulnerable to a range of different types of hacking scenarios—especially if workers are dialing into official networks using personal devices that haven't been vetted or using WiFi networks that aren't secure. This larger remote workforce will be more vulnerable to phishing emails and texts that look legitimate but actually contain malicious software.

We have never seen, on this scale, the potential problems that can arise when an entire agency, company or government institution is working remotely.
