Cybercriminals love a crisis. Amid the COVID-19 outbreaks, companies are even more vulnerable than usual to cyberattacks.
As businesses are instructing their employees to work from home, the rise in remote workers means a rise in the number of devices employees are using and an increase in the use of online conferencing tools, letting hackers cast a much wider net in which to snare potential targets.
In fact, on March 13, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the Department of Homeland Security’s cyber agency, issued an alert specifically addressing cyber vulnerabilities. The alert focuses on the risks associated with virtual private networks (VPNs), which many small businesses and most large organizations use to allow employees remote access to applications and workspaces. CISA has urged organizations to adopt a heightened state of cybersecurity to prevent against these attacks.
Comcast’s “Keeping Cybercriminals at Bay—and Protecting Your Business—During a Crisis,” webinar discusses new challenges the COVID-19 crisis presents, the types of threats that are out there, and the steps you can take to mitigate cybersecurity risks during workplace and business disruption.
