With striking speed, the arrival and spread of the coronavirus pushed much of the U.S. workforce to a remote environment. The shift to a remote workforce is not expected to end any time soon. Many companies are extending their work from home policies, including Google, which announced that their employees will be allowed to work remotely until at least July 2021. Twitter and Facebook, meanwhile, have announced that their employees will be allowed to work from home indefinitely.
As an unwelcome consequence, many businesses are now exposed to a whole new array of data privacy and security vulnerabilities.
