Emerging Threats and the new WFH Workforce

Many in today’s workforce transitioned to work-from-home (WFH) as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, and more organizations are now considering it to be a long-term reality. Even by the time companies feel safe letting people come back into the office, executives do not see the future as business as usual; rather, they see a shift to a higher volume of work-from-home users. It is not surprising that new threats have emerged with the increase in people working from home, in addition to a change in the end-user environment, and that these threats will persist as more adopt a fully-remote or hybrid model. Join network security expert Rodney Nash as he discusses the good and bad of the WFH workforce, and how to address the threats that come with the WFH workforce and the new normal.
