If, like many organisations, your business has been forced to support mass employee remote working, it’s likely that you’ve also had to roll out new services and applications to maintain business continuity and productivity. Understandably, cyber security may not have been front of mind during this process.
At Redscan, we’ve set about shining light on some of these challenges by analysing how the crisis has affected online search behaviour in relation to cyber security and technology. The findings provide insight into how well-prepared businesses were for such an incident, the tools organisations are turning to support operations, and potential threats they are facing.

Penetration testing (or pen testing) should form a crucial part of every cyber security strategy, but to get the most value from assessments, organisations need to ensure that they receive the best quality reports from providers.
