Emerging Trends in Cybersecurity: Issues in Cybersecurity During Covid-19 Pandemic

The world is currently facing the COVID-19 pandemic, which is one of the most devastating global health crises of this century. It has affected approximately 10.7 million people worldwide and has caused significant disruption. One notable consequence is the rapid increase in remote work. Organizations also need to adapt to the new reality. However, this shift has exposed a critical concern that employees who work from home often have limited cybersecurity resources compared to organizations with dedicated security teams. This creates vulnerabilities, leaving employees far more vulnerable to potential cyber-attacks. Organizations need to prioritize the security of their dispersed workforce and implement robust cybersecurity measures to protect against these threats. Cybersecurity attacks have become a serious problem. The common types of cyber security attacks are Denial of Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, Man in the Middle (MitM), Phishing and Spear Phishing attacks, and Malware. Attackers have a clear motive when they target victims with obtaining their credentials or financial rewards. People who engage in online activities are exposed to numerous cyber dangers. This vulnerability arises from the network's inherent insecurity. Attackers possess the skills to exploit the flaws in the Internet's infrastructure, utilizing their coding expertise to their advantage.
