Abstract

Abstract : Businesses have been thrown a curve ball that could never have been predicted at the beginning of last year, and one that has changed businesses practices forever. While many organisations had some form of fluid working before, it is now non-negotiable as business leaders have seen first-hand that the workforce can be just as productive at home as they can in the office. While many organisations had some form of fluid working before the pandemic, it is now non-negotiable. As a result, we've seen a boom in the adoption of enterprise technologies to support this new way of working. However, one aspect of business that shouldn't be forgotten is cyber security, because cyber criminals are taking advantage of the shift to working from home to launch increased numbers of cyber attacks, explains Ollie Sheridan of Gigamon.
