The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on everyone’s lives, families, and communities.

Organisations are not exempt from the impact of the pandemic as COVID-19 has forced them to quickly adapt to remote working. This shift presents huge risks to them. Since the outbreak, cyberattacks have increased exponentially, confidential data of several organizations compromised, and millions of dollars lost to cybercriminals.
