Most organizations are now requiring that their employees work from home (“WFH”) with the ongoing COVID-19 (commonly referred to as the Coronavirus) pandemic.   These remote working arrangements provide new opportunities for hackers to infiltrate computer systems, and not surprisingly, attempted cyber attacks are on the rise.  Given the rapid deployment of employees being forced to work from home, many employees are using their personal laptops, tablets and other devices to complete their work.  The use of such personal devices increases the risk to network systems, including a potential breach or data loss.
