Secure Collaboration – The “New Work” Brings New Dangers

The impact of the pandemic on companies and their IT was complex. From one day to the next, employees had to be provided with a working environment that allowed them to work securely from home.

Home office, remote work, the “new normal” are on everyone's lips. This was accompanied by the increased use of so-called collaboration tools.

But this increased use of collaboration tools has not gone unnoticed by cyber criminals, who see it as a lucrative target for attacks. Together with techconsult, Mimecast conducted a short study among 200 decision-makers in May 2021 to investigate the following questions (among others):

• What is the prevalence of common collaboration tools in enterprises?
• What impact did the pandemic have on collaboration from home?
• What are the risks and opportunities of using collaboration tools?
• What solutions can minimize related dangers?

Download the full results of the study and read how the answers to the above questions vary by industry and company size.
