Measures adopted: For employees, it is imperative they provide full visibility into their work-from-home setup for easier implementation of adequate safety measures to ensure corporate data is always accessed through authorized devices on secure networks.
For customers, the best option is to be alert.  If there’s even an inkling of doubt about the legitimacy of files or links, it is always safe to refrain from clicking or opening them to prevent falling victim to phishing attacks.  Another option is to ensure you update enterprise software only from the product website to avoid installing malicious updates.

Educating customers & employees: As a company dealing with cybersecurity products, we, at ManageEngine, organize regular training webinars and online meetups to ensure all our customers understand the current security environment and how to best utilize the products at hand to ensure optimal security. We also regularly share checklists and questionnaires for customers to periodically check on their setup and be abreast of the latest security attacks and mitigation strategies.

Mitigating threat situation: ManageEngine’s dedicated suite of endpoint security and management products lets you manage different servers, workstations, smartphones, and other types of endpoints running different OSes, all from a centralized console. It lets you authorize entities such as endpoints, apps, peripheral devices or even the employees themselves before accessing enterprise data thereby protecting enterprise data at rest, in use, and in transit.

Safeguarding customers & employees: We, at ManageEngine, have been constantly striving to come up with products that cater to the advancing security needs of enterprise, and 2021 will represent yet another step in that direction just like the last year. In 2020, we launched a suite of products that provide UEBA capabilities for threat analytics, enforce the principle of least privileges (POLP) as well as products that grant just-in-time privilege elevation to ensure a secure Zero-Trust setup. One of our core commitments this year is to bring in AI and ML into our entire suite of solutions to build security models that proactively identify attacks and recognize underlying user actions before mitigating them.
