The programming committee for the 77th Annual SAM International Business Conference is pleased to announce the acceptance of the presentation Cybersecurity Risks on Shifting from Onsite to Remote Work by P.V. Rajkumar, Kamala Raghavan, and Mayur Desai of the University of Central Missouri and Texas Southern University.
Presentation Abstract: This work reviews the impact of new norm surfacing in the workplace environment i.e., remote work, on the existing cybersecurity structure of global corporations. Remote work/ Work from home (WFH) due to Covid-19 appears to have a positive impact on productivity according to some research studies. The WFH model seems to be accepted by corporations and employees in the form of a “hybrid” model of work environment, where a certain percentage of work activities will be performed remotely. Although claims for improved productivity sound promising, the downside of this model is the potential for increased cybersecurity risk paused due to “data” handled by the employees in their remote computers and mobile devices, where the security measures can be compromised by malicious hacktivists. This work studies the cybersecurity implications due to hybrid work environments and list the recommendations to reduce cybersecurity risks.
