One year after COVID caused companies to send droves of employees home to work remotely, how well did those employees do at protecting their clients’ and their company’s confidential information and what can they do better as they continue to work from home?
Increased Exposure Due to Remote Workers
As employees transitioned to the work-from-home environment, the consensus was that the number of data breaches would potentially increase. The expectation was that having a dispersed workforce would create vulnerabilities that would not be present in an office environment.

Employees’ attention was also split between work and family tasks and the employees could no longer walk down the hall to ask the IT department for help.
