Hybrid work models make companies more vulnerable to cyberattacks

While working from home was the norm during the first year of the pandemic, many companies are now adopting permanent hybrid work models that experts say make companies more vulnerable to cyberattacks versus when their staffs are on-site. 

For employers, securing their data and servers could be one of the most challenging components of juggling both in-person and remote workers, according to Laura Hoffner, a cybersecurity expert and chief of staff at risk management firm Concentric. Mitigating security risks has proved to be a "very large headache" for companies managing workers logging in to company devices from various locales, according to Hoffner. "What you're really seeing is that the vulnerabilities are increasing as we expand out that network and more people are working from home," she told CBSN.
