Security leaders and IT professionals work hard to ensure everyone from the C-suite to interns have the right security measures in place to protect the cybersecurity of an organization. However, this gets increasingly more difficult when those employees are not all in the same building.
The rise in remote work means that security leaders need to consider how to protect information when employees and executives are within their own homes. According to a survey by BlackCloak, 42% of respondents reported that their executives or family members were attacked by cybercriminals. Attacks ranged from malware and doxing to instances of extortion and even physical attack. The survey focuses on the protection of executive digital assets, which include addresses, phone numbers, personal device accounts, Wi-Fi information and potential scam information, including doxing and swatting.
