This is confirmed by the current survey “Cybersecurity in Numbers” by G DATA in cooperation with Statista and brand eins. And when working from home, too, many people do not pay attention to IT security. Employees pay attention ...

At the same time, however, the effort and costs for IT security increased - and thus possibly also protection against cyber criminals. With the beginning of the corona pandemic, companies made it possible for their employees to work from home and work on the move.

At least this is what most of the reports on this topic suggest.

During the pandemic, many companies set up fast VPN tunnels to enable safe work in the home office. Often, however, concessions were made, which malicious hackers are now exploiting. When more and more employees were sent to the home office during the corona pandemic, companies often had no choice but to set up so-called Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) in a hurry. These make it possible to access the company networks and thus programs and files from outside via a secure connection. But due to the prevailing time pressure and the lack of experience in managing such connections ...
