The rise in remote work has led to an increased need for cyber security awareness as cyber threats have increased by 81% since the global pandemic. A TalentLMS survey found that 61% of employees failed a basic data security quiz, despite receiving cyber security training from their organisation.
The relentless advancement in technology brings with it the ever-increasing risk of cyber attacks. One industry that is steadily adopting new technologies and has thus become vulnerable to cyber attacks is EdTech. With more schools integrating technology into their systems, the threat to data security keeps rising. In the first quarter alone of 2022, India was exposed to 18 million attacks and threats.
The advances in IoT have led to an increase in wearable devices, with US households having 22 connected devices on average in 2021. The global market size for wearable devices is expected to increase to around USD 380.5 billion by 2028 from USD 115.8 billion in 2021. Although they come with many benefits, like convenient hands-free control and fitness tracking, the tradeoff in using these devices is their vulnerability to cyberattacks.
The trend of working from anywhere has accelerated due to the pandemic, resulting in employees using their mobile devices as the primary communication channel. Though mobile devices provide a flexible and more convenient form of communication, they also increase the risk to data security.
