It's time to rethink the security architecture of the home office.

In 2020, Ransomware attacks grew by 62%, according to SonicWall's 2021 Cyber Threat Report. The Colonial pipeline has been the most notorious case, considering its impact. 📈

It also exemplifies many reasons why ransomware attacks have increased and how attackers have sophisticated their methods.🪛☠️

The working-from-home phenomena have created the perfect environment for ransomware attackers: 🛋

✅ SOC's don't have visibility of remote worker's context

✅ The attack surface has increased in ways that it is harder for security teams to identify, monitor and control

✅ Social phishing on personal devices used at home is out of the reach of corporate tools and monitoring

✅ VPN's protect the transmission media but have no control over the context from where the device is connected, and It can't stop lateral movement

With a significant number of jobs going to become permanently home-based, analysts say it's time to rethink the security architecture of the home office. 🤓

Now that technology permits zero-touch deployment and operation, have you considered putting firewalls at home to have the same level of security and visibility over all your workforce? 🛡

Is your attack surface protection covering 100% of your known and unknown assets and fully automated? 🤔
