Security fears | Most staff feeling vulnerable to cyber attacks, data shows

A majority of employees feel current working routines leave them more vulnerable to cyberthreats, a new study has found.

According to new research published by UK software firm Advanced, nearly two-thirds (57%) of employees believe that the switch to hybrid working has made them more vulnerable to cyberattacks.

Fear of change holding security back

As detailed in the report, 20% of employees feel that their employer is deliberately holding back when it comes to implementing new technologies that might make them feel more secure. Yet, despite this, more than a third (34%) of employees claimed that they would be “concerned” about any changes taking place that might threaten their current working processes.
