Risks at work: The perils of working from home

Companies in India are seeing a significant increase in the cybersecurity challenges they face amidst the shift to mass remote working, a new study by Cisco shows. According to the study, 73% of companies in the country have experienced a 25% or more jump in either cyber threats or alerts since the start of Covid-19.

Cisco’s ‘Future of Secure Remote Work Report’ revealed many Indian companies were unprepared to make the accelerated transition to a remote workforce at the onset of Covid-19. About two-thirds (65%) of companies adopted cybersecurity measures during Covid-19 to support remote working.
