One of the biggest challenges for businesses in the wake of the pandemic has been the surge in cyber attacks. A recent study found an increase of more than 600% in reported phishing emails between February and March. On top of this, the use of unsecured remote desktops climbed by 40% this year. This means organisations need efficient cloud security now more than ever before. But even the most prepared companies have found it difficult to handle the risks that come with a newly remote workforce.

The top remote working cyber risks 

According to IT Governance, there are five critical remote working cyber risks in the UK:

  • Unsecured personal devices
  • A surge in COVID-19-themed attacks
  • Cyber attacks targeting virtual private networks (VPNs)
  • Reliance on cloud-based tools 
  • Lack of remote working policies and procedures 

All of these vulnerabilities are overwhelming for any company to handle. Therefore, it is crucial for businesses to partner with technology vendors that ease the pressure and continuously improve their security capabilities. RingCentral is proud to be a vendor that provides its customers with the highest levels of security, data confidentiality, compliance, availability and control.
