A coworking space, or communal workspace, enables professionals from different companies and industries to share the same office environment.

In recent years there has been a growing trend for cybercriminals to target human resources departments in order to exploit the sensitive data they handle. Hackers can do a lot of damage, and make a lot of money, once they gain access to Social Security information, dates of birth, work history or employee and company bank account numbers.

Now the pendulum swings the other way. Fortunately, it’s a healthy sign for the cybersecurity industry.
