Interest in digital security grew exponentially in 2020. From social media to voting to corporate software, speculation and potential breaches have been on the rise. Work from home has created a unique set of problems as well. As more corporations continue to push back the date of when employees can return to their offices, if they want to at all, company-owned computers and software are being used on unprotected internet access. Or worse, employees are using personal computers to get the job done.
Most companies use VPNs to allow employees access to company resources and information from remote locations. If an employee's home network or device is compromised and it has access to the company's data via VPN, the entire company network is compromised. Additionally, all it takes is one wrong click from an employee working in a coffee shop for their computer to be publicly discoverable.
