Listen: making sure we don’t ingore cybersecurity risks

Remote work has become a staple of life for many people in Basildon and East Thurrock, but with it comes new challenges—particularly in the realm of cybersecurity. A recent survey conducted by ESET uncovers how we’re managing our cybersecurity, the pressures of staying connected, and the blurred lines between work and personal life.

The survey reveals that a substantial majority of us (83%) have implemented some form of cybersecurity on our devices. However, a notable 7% of respondents are unsure whether they are adequately protected, a concerning gap that leaves room for potential vulnerabilities.

Interestingly, while 54% of us look to our company’s IT team to handle cybersecurity, nearly 50% believe that safeguarding our devices is a personal responsibility. This split in perceived responsibility highlights the need for clearer guidelines and better education on cybersecurity best practices in a remote work environment.
