Question

Since the Covid-19 pandemic there have been an increased number of employees who are now working from home, while some cybersecurity issues remain the same since the pandemic; having such a large number of people working remotely has also brought up some additional challenges. When it comes to cybersecurity itself, issues often arise in the design and development stage as those teams may not understand the consequences of not including cybersecurity measures early on. The textbook suggests that the solution to this would be education to those employees about the importance of cybersecurity and more communication between various teams and work areas. This would create a working partnership across teams and improve cybersecurity outcomes for everyone (Cybersecurity Law Book, Page 30). However, this solution may become more difficult to achieve with a shift to at-home work after the pandemic. An often-cited downside to working from home vs in the office is that communication is made more difficult and there is less in-person interaction. This downside can also affect any attempts at cybersecurity education in the workplace since it may be difficult for those teams to convey a nuanced understanding of their work to the rest.
