Experts told how the transition to remote will affect the number of data leaks

The Izvestia publication published a new material, in which experts described how the transition to

Remote control will affect the number of data leaks.It is reported that with the transition to remote work in Russia, the number of phishing mailings has already quadrupled, and the number of data leaks is also expected to increase.

According to expert forecasts, data leaks fromremote employees will double. It is noted that, first of all, data vulnerability is caused by the employees themselves, who at home are deprived of control by both colleagues and video surveillance cameras. So, the number of attempts to steal confidential information will only grow, since inconsistent programs are loaded on many computers, and employees themselves can provoke leaks by transmitting information about working moments through instant messengers and mail.

”It’s scary even to imagine that banks orIT giants will be unprepared for a new threat - work from home. All last year we observed how weaknesses in building the information security of the largest companies in the country led to catastrophic leaks of user data and other protected information. And now we ask employees to work from home and give all the necessary access, ”said Igor Bederov, head of Internet Search.
