Authors - Payal Khode, Shailesh Gahane, Arya Kapse, Pankajkumar Anawade, Deepak Sharma Abstract - The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a widespread trend toward remote work, drastically altering the nature of the traditional workplace. While there are many advantages to working remotely, such as flexibility and less time spent traveling, there are also major cybersecurity risks. The inherent vulnerabilities in technologies used for remote work pose a persistent threat to cybersecurity. But social distancing measures imposed by the pandemic have made workers work from home, which has increased internet usage. These widespread modifications have been used by malicious hackers to launch extensive phone scams, phishing attacks, and other computer-based exploits. Organization have quickly embraced remote work without fully understanding the impact on cybersecurity. Because remote work policies have been widely adopted without first consulting cybersecurity experts or implementing comprehensive security measures, there are now more vulnerabilities. This study focuses on people because they are the weakest link in cybersecurity. It highlights how important it is to protect business and personal information when working from a distance. The study looks at the cybersecurity risks associated with changing employee behaviors during the transition to remote work in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of this research is to investigate the cybersecurity risks and challenges that companies and organizations encounter when workers change their work habits to work remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic.
