Measures adopted: Remote working has caused new opportunities for cyber criminals to take advantage of the security trade-offs by individuals for ease of use and access to engage in credential stuffing attacks. The most common security threat seen during the pandemic is primarily based on phishing scams. As work from home continues, multiple measures are needed to be followed by the enterprises to protect the data.

Securing Enterprise Assets became of major importance as more enterprise servers, applications, and services become accessible to remote users.

Protect and Secure Remotely Connected Devices: As working from home will become a norm, and more devices will be connecting with the enterprise asset, it will become even more important for an enterprise to enhance the security aspect to cut down moderation.
Reducing the Attack Surface from Threat Actors: The Zero Trust approach, if enabled, will reduce the malicious and threat actors attacking major company devices, putting all data and security under direct risk.
