“The importance of data protection and cyber defenses have become even more challenging during the COVID-19 pandemic as network boundaries dissipate due to newly formed work from home (WFH) initiatives. CIO and CISO teams should constantly evaluate new threat vectors and related defenses as employees move to remote working environments.
