Part #1: Cyber Threats to Remote Employees in 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a dramatic effect on every organization since it came on the scene in late 2019. Businesses of all sizes and shapes around the world have had to adapt at the speed of light, and to make significant infrastructure changes so their employees could work from home. But that was, and still is, far from simple. Not only because employees, while working from home, are more prone to incautious behavior and non-compliance to corporate policy. But also because cybercriminals have been rigorously developing malicious new strategies for breaching corporate networks.

Over the past few months, the Check Point Research team have been paying close attention to these malicious activities while our teams have been working closely with hundreds of organizations of all sizes and industries, helping them adapt to the new reality of a perimeter-less organization.
