The COVID-19 pandemic rushed security teams to find ways to support a largely remote workforce, changing the cyber threat landscape with increased opportunities for criminals to exploit vulnerabilities in the work from home environment. Jason Smolanoff, Global Cyber Risk Practice Leader at Kroll, outlines his one big thing for 2021 when it comes to cyber security: the increased assault on endpoints, which will force information security professionals to gain full visibility into a variety of devices and systems now operating outside of the company network.

In a recent webinar, speakers from Kroll and Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) Hong Kong discussed the findings from a global IIA/Kroll fraud risk survey. The findings of the research include perceptions of the effectiveness of a fraud risk management program in organizations, including prevention, detection and response; the tools used in the fight against fraud; instances of fraud versus perception; the tone from the top; and resourcing for successful fraud risk management in an organization.
