The global provider of digital transformation and cybersecurity solutions and services, Softline, released some key facts from the Boston Consulting Group report on cybersecurity issues for remote work.
He also specified that, “the risks increased, because in the same proportion the concentration of cybercriminals on vulnerabilities also increased: from phishing scams to malware related to covid-19,” commented Ariel Fillipazo, Softline's Cybersecurity Solution Sales. “Hackers take advantage of decentralized work and technology systems by finding cracks to leak through,” the expert added.
To better explain the risks, Softline shared a list of the main risks when we work from home:
1. Phishing campaigns. They remain the main mode of attacks, since it depends almost 100% on the human factor. “However protected the system is, if the user falls into the trap of clicking where they should not, or leaving their data without being clear about the risks, security collapses,” says Fillipazo.
2. Trojan Campaigns. This type of attack occurs without the user knowing it at the time it is taking place. The cybercriminal establishes remote access connections that ultimately result in denials of service (DoS), execution of unauthorized processes or the paralysis of tasks essential to a company.
3. Botnets. It is one of the biggest threats in recent years. In this modality, they target older vulnerabilities in IoT products to increase the strength of the attack. With no security updates, hackers take advantage of it to sneak into the most sensitive information of companies.
4. Remote code execution. This is a very sophisticated type of attack. It allows attackers to gain access to the company's mother server and install malicious software in order to steal information or stop key processes for an organization.

Here are some of the tips given by the Softline specialist:
1. Staff training. Cybercriminals are constantly evolving, so employees are also required to keep up to date and updated on the most common threats.
2. Use of secure apps to build virtual private networks (VPNs) and have firewalls and antimalware. These are two easily accessible tools for organizations.
3. Enabling security updates automatically on enterprise devices The company's IT team is the key to keeping processes up to date without the need to invest a lot of time.
4. Verification of each employee's WiFi networks. This is the first security door for organizations, so the security team must check the security of the network or not accept any open networks.
This is how it was concluded that with a robust security scheme for companies, a hybrid mode of work can be established that increases the productivity of organizations by 28%, according to data from the Employer's Confederation of the Mexican Republic (Coparmex).
