Maintaining Data Security Working From Home
Over the last decade, and prominently throughout the pandemic, the workplace landscape has shifted and evolved. In years prior, hybrid or remote work was not as common among businesses as it is today, with remote work having increased significantly since before the pandemic. A 2022 survey by Microsoft found that 52% of people surveyed were considering a fully remote or hybrid position.
Though remote work can be convenient for employees, it can come with a heightened risk of data breaches for businesses as employees may not have the knowledge and resources to keep information safe. In an IBM survey of 550 U.S. businesses that faced a data breach between March 2021 and March 2022, those that cited remote work as a factor lost an average of $4.99 million USD, and those who did not cite it as a factor lost $4.02 million USD; this marks a difference of 21.5% or $0.97 million USD.
