Protecting the Modern Workplace: Educating Employees to Combat Rising Cyber Risks

The Evolution of Technology in the Workplace Brings Increased Cybersecurity Challenges; Empowering and Educating Employees is Key to Defense

 

The adoption of cloud technology has revolutionized how businesses manage data, providing accessibility to employees and scalability across organizations. It offers numerous advantages, including enhanced flexibility, cost reduction, and improved efficiency. However, as more businesses transition their computing and data to the cloud, it becomes an attractive target for malicious actors. Recent research indicates that cloud security risks are on the rise, particularly as employees increasingly work in a hybrid model.

In the realm of cyberattacks targeting the cloud, cybercriminals often create malicious applications injected into platforms or software. This allows them to access valuable data and sell legitimate account logins for infiltrating and conducting attacks on cloud services used by businesses. Employees must be aware of these tactics and methods employed by threat actors to protect both themselves and the organization.
