Technology is advancing by leaps and bounds and with it the sophistication of attack systems, which are no longer limited to crude decoys trying to hunt unscrupulous on websites of dubious legality, which is why help is needed that sees beyond our eyes. You have probably heard, repeated ad nauseam as if it were a mantra, that common sense is the best antivirus and that no security tool is necessary on your computer. This statement is usually accompanied by a series of advice, among which it is asserted with some superiority that nothing happens if you are a little careful not to browse websites with unreliable content and do not open the first suspicious file that arrives attached to the email .

That is, they do not have teleworking policies and, therefore, it is unlikely that they take into account the greater cybersecurity risks of teleworking. We are going to try to put an end to this situation and explain how to minimize cybersecurity risks. At first glance, the only change office workers experience is not being able to be in physical contact with colleagues. But there is much more. For example, we must take into account the communication channels, established routines, collaboration tools, equipment and access to this equipment, which extend the surface of cyber-attacks. Communication channels When your employees work in the office on the local network, your total security solutions manage all the data that is exchanged in the processes.

2020 has also been an important year for cybersecurity and we have analyzed the cyber threats that may be a trend for this year. The pandemic had a major influence on the threat environment, being the predominant lure in many phishing campaigns and fraud attempts. We have had to telecommute more and adapt quickly. Awareness, technology and communications have been a very important bulwark. But on the opposite side, cybercrime has also increased its activity and capabilities, knowing that its opportunities are growing in an increasingly interconnected world. It has also been a year of critical vulnerabilities accompanied by the increase and sophistication of the tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) used by increasingly professionalized groups. Without a doubt, 2021 will be a year in which all these threats (and more) will continue to rise, where companies and organizations must be as well prepared as possible, continuously improving and evolving their defenses".
