2020 has brought unprecedented changes to the manner in which employees work. It has required extraordinary, and fast-moving, changes by employers to adapt to remote work arrangements and provide employees with flexible work arrangements that differ significantly from those that existed prior to the pandemic. In an eye-opening recent survey, 85% of Chief Information Security Officers said they sacrificed cybersecurity to quickly enable remote work. These changes have come at the same time that cybercriminals have sought to exploit the vulnerabilities in employers’ computer networks and remote work systems and have successfully infiltrated numerous networks, creating headaches for employers that were already facing increased pressures due to the economic hardships of the pandemic. This program will explore the privacy issues faced by employers who have experienced an increase in remote work arrangements during the pandemic and offer practical solutions to address these challenges.
