Employees forced to work remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic altered their online habits, and to minimize hacking risk they needed cybersecurity tools to keep up. As a result, most IT departments now support cloud and hybrid environments.
But security administrators also face a danger they may not have previously anticipated: attacks from insiders. Disgruntled employees are taking advantage of the fact that many enterprises do not offer secure access to offsite networks and systems. They are also exploiting their fellow remote workers, who might not recognize phishing exploits and can unintentionally cause harm or damage.
