Abstract

With the world being caught in the middle of a pandemic and trying their best to fight the COVID 19 virus, a new concern is emerging - Cybersecurity. With the wide spread panic of the virus threat actors are using this opportunity to exploit the situation. As companies adapt to a changing model with more and more employees working remotely cybersecurity is becoming one of the key questions the companies need to answer. With more and more employees being outside the organisations network and using their own network, concerns over the safety of the organisations data and increased risk of compromise is something organisations need to think about. In this paper we discuss what types of attacks have been happening and how we can protect ourselves from these attacks.
