The Evolving Threat Landscape:

The hybrid workplace expands your attack surface, making it more vulnerable to a variety of threats:

Phishing attacks: 

Deceptive emails target employees working remotely, potentially tricking them into revealing sensitive information such as login credentials or financial data. These attacks often impersonate legitimate entities, making them difficult to detect.

Malware: 

Malicious software can infect devices used outside the office network, compromising your security and putting sensitive data at risk. With the increase in remote work, the likelihood of malware infections has risen, posing a significant threat to organizations.

Data breaches: 

Cloud-based applications create new entry points for attackers to steal sensitive data, including customer information, intellectual property, and financial records. Breaches can have severe consequences, including reputational damage and regulatory penalties.

Insider threats: 

Disgruntled employees or contractors with access to your systems can pose a significant risk by intentionally or unintentionally compromising security. Insider threats may involve data theft, sabotage, or other malicious activities that can disrupt business operations and cause financial harm.
