MUMBAI: Companies should ensure stronger anti-phishing and anti-ransomware mechanisms as employees are at high risk of being targetted while they work from home, said a senior Microsoft official.
Many of these solutions can be implemented through natively embedded solutions in the software platforms used by enterprises, said Ann Johnson, corporate vice president, Cybersecurity Solutions Group, Microsoft Corp. “Right now cyber-criminals are really taking advantage of the outbreak and targeting employees of companies with Covid-19 and Coronavirus phishing lure and malware.
It is exacerbated by the fact that employees are largely working on their own and are quite stressed while working from home due to various domestic concerns," said
