The Covid-19 pandemic has brought around many changes to the workplace. 

 

For example, with government-mandated lockdowns meaning many employees must now work from home, there has been a significant shift in the way in which companies operate. 

 

During this time, video conferencing tools have become a lifeline that many businesses cling to in order to retain some semblance of normality, and allow their company to function accordingly. 

The continuing pandemic and various lockdowns have changed several important aspects of lives. Today, we build relationships, work, and communicate with our colleagues in a different way compared to just a year ago! All the signs are now pointing to this continuing for the foreseeable future. 

 

With such a sudden switch in communication methods, it was essential to catch up and introduce a different solution to allow team members to think together, discuss, and create new ideas - virtually and safely. 

 

So, communication or team management platforms that had been on the market for 1-2 years before the pandemic saw their subscribers steadily increase this year. Like all choices, it does not come without a drawback or two. However, the benefits of such platforms are endless and worth considering! 

 

A rising number of professionals have decided to embrace remote working - at least for some days a week. This incredibly important shift has changed the way we operate, communicate, and build relationships with others both internally and externally. 

 

But, while we are too busy facing the steep learning curve in front of us as we transition towards remote working, cyber-threats might be hiding around the corner. Indeed, a much higher amount of data and information is today sent from one employee to another, often without implementing any security measure. 

 

Whether your employees have made the switch and they are working from home, or they have already returned to the office, training them against cyber threats and ensuring they are ready to respond to a potential attack is essential.
