Covid-19 CyberSecurity Impact: Increased Risk of Insider Threats?
Guerrino Mazzarolo and Anca Jurcut, UCD School of Computer Science
April 2020
COVID-19 is impacting every Organisation worldwide. Preserving business continuity and building enterprise resilience has become a priority. Moving from organizational networks to remote working, significantly increased cyber-risk and it pushes the defence line outside of the organisation. Setting up home services could pose a potential security risk when combined with possible human-error-enabled security failures. Information security professionals need to adapt their defense model to address new threats and to reduce the risk of insider threats incidents.
