In the age of remote work, protecting endpoints is key to security.
Before the pandemic, around 70% of the world’s workers already worked from home. Now, in the U.S., over half of employees went remote, and while some have gone back to the office, remote work is a trend that’s here to stay. Security at the office was one matter, but now companies are looking to find security measures for their digital networks. Now more than ever, businesses need to achieve remote work security by protecting endpoints.
Pandemic Malware
Computer threats come in various forms, but in the age of remote work, pandemic-themed malware has been a notable threat. For example, a fake online Johns Hopkins infection map caused users to click on the malicious link and enable intruders to attack. It is similar to ransomware, which demands a ransom for your files-in-hostage after opening an unsolicited email or link. LokiBot, FormBook, and NanoCore are other detected malware during this time. The crucial point to take away from this is that the attackers specifically target endpoints.
The Answer to the Threat
While remote workers need to be careful when handling emails and links, be they about the coronavirus or not, companies can have a surer way to achieve remote work security. One can ultimately prevent these malicious attacks by protecting endpoints, the devices remote workers use to access their company networks. While implementing cybersecurity software is essential, one also needs to actively scout for threats and have an efficient way to view them. A company needs to unify endpoint management and respond to threats succinctly.
