## In 2020 talking about corporate IT security means considering much more aspects

The digital transformation is increasingly expanding the working perimeter, moving the boundaries of the company even within the home.

In particular, for reasons of social and health prevention, in recent days many companies are asking their employees to apply the "smart working", the possibility of working at home remotely. Fundamental for this kind of agile work is to allow employees full access to business data: you can use **VPN** (Software that allow employees to access the network of their company) activated in a short time; or to **data sharing platforms** (such as Office 365, Google Drive or Dropbox).

The **advantages** are innumerable, but the control over the protective structures is considerably reduced. In fact, mobile devices for remote work are among the main attack vectors: about **40%** of the companies that has suffered this type of attack has recorded important exploits and losses: the average business cost is about 1,400,000 euros for a security incident involving data loss through mobile devices. (Source: cybersecurity360). In addition, employees who use their mobile devices for remote work (but also for personal use) lead to a potential increase in the risk of cyber security breach.

To address all these issues proactively and not be found unprepared for evolving threats, companies should take an approach that combines **training** and **protection**: it is important to make use of both regular training on the importance of computer security for the staff, and of customized security solutions based on the needs of the company.
