Cyber security key to building corporate trust

While the recent surge in digitalisation has brought along its fair share of challenges, it also offers organisations the opportunity to build confidence and trust by embedding privacy into their products and communicating their practices clearly and simply to their customers.

Working from home is great but are you secure The first wave of coronavirus hit with the impact of a Tsunami. Overnight millions of businesses across the world were forced to go all out digital in order to survive and working from home became the new normal.

But accelerated adoption of technologies that enable employees to work securely from anywhere and on any device helped prepare businesses to be flexible for whatever comes next. There is little doubt that digital technology has been at the forefront of helping business, organisations and individuals deal with the impact of the global pandemic that has been raging for over nine months now.

It is the season of Light, it is the season of Darkness.” For even as businesses see and experience the miracles of digital technology, they are vulnerable to another kind of virus.

Challenges up ahead

Two recent global surveys published by CISCO highlight the challenges of the accelerated transition to a cloud-first, remote world, revealing an increase in consumer concern about data sharing during the pandemic and the security challenges organisations face supporting employees and customers in a remote-first world.
