But these channels are far less fortified, with interactions occurring outside the network perimeter, rendering them practically invisible to security teams. While there is already a lack of visibility to threat activity on these channels, the inclusion of home networks in an extended remote security deployment creates a massive security vulnerability to the enterprise.

This has created a perfect cyber security storm where these channels become highly susceptible to spear-phishing, ransomware, cyber espionage, and other forms of cyberattack, for which immediate preventative countermeasures are well advised.
