The pandemic has boosted the remote work which has become the norm. This has led to immense growth in the demand for cloud computing software from companies transitioning their on-premise operations to the digital space. Edge cloud computing in particular saw a demand rise as operations enabled by the internet of things became increasingly common. There has been a shift in the way people think about enterprise security. The largest threat to a quickly changing workforce is the awareness perspective. Like, we can’t expect employees to practice good security if they aren’t aware of the dangers of working from home. “When you authenticate, when you VPN, you extend the company network to your home network that could be riddled with malware. If they aren’t aware of that, we can’t expect a lot of awareness from them. They have to understand why they need a VPN.”

Security awareness has got more visibility in the WFH environment, with an increasing attack surface and a workforce that has to be more self-reliant when it comes to securing their devices and home networks, as well as recognizing the increase of threats designed to take advantage of virus fears and stuck-at-home boredom. Hence, it is important for the companies to engage deeply to understand the availability of the security technologies. Supply chain attacks like 2020’s SolarWinds virus – where hackers opened backdoors into companies’ internal systems by exploiting a compromised third-party application – will likely become more common as hackers learn from each other and exploit vulnerable enterprise systems.
