Many ransomware attacks stem from cybercriminals exploiting remote access solutions, whether by conducting brute force attacks which crack simple passwords or by using stolen login credentials. Similarly, funds transfer fraud scams often rely on cybercriminals gaining remote access to employee email accounts to perpetrate their scams.Employees may also be more susceptible to phishing scams whilst working from home, especially when they have no one in the immediate vicinity to sense check suspicious emails. In addition, there’s always the risk that work devices taken outside of the office can be lost or stolen, which may result in a data breach.Cyber insurance can protect against the financial losses that result from the unintended consequence of remote working, whether that be in the form of ransomware, funds transfer fraud or a data breach.
