HOBOKEN, N.J., March 25, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Messaging Architects, an eMazzanti Technologies Company and email security consultant, examines the increased cyber security risks as working from home numbers more than double in a new article on the Messaging Architects website.
The informative article also shares several signs of coronavirus phishing attacks to help remote workers recognize them. The author then lists four tips for organizations to protect against the increased risks of remote work.
"Cyber criminals love a crisis. Using emotional appeals and a sense of urgency, they trick users into surrendering sensitive information or unknowingly downloading malware," stated Greg Smith, Vice President of Services Delivery at Messaging Architects.
Below are a few excerpts from the article, "Coronavirus Phishing Attacks Target Remote Workers."
"While advances in network technology and mobile devices have made work at home possible, remote work increases the attack surface and, consequently, the risk. Employees often work outside the usual security perimeter from home networks already crowded with IoT devices like gaming consoles, TVs and appliances."
"These home networks (or, worse, public Wi-Fi) often lack the security measures of corporate networks. And in a crisis like this pandemic, criminals count on the changing work environment to overwhelm and distract IT departments. Security professionals must address the challenge of protecting hundreds of new devices while providing additional avenues for workers to connect."
