But the use of WFH workstations won’t revert to pre-pandemic levels in future, especially as many companies are discovering that many employees can complete their tasks from home. This does, however, raise the question of security in remote working. ‘In recent months, we’ve certainly seen an increase in cyberattacks – and not just the volume,’ notes Michael Schöller, Head of IT and Infrastructure at SCB. ‘They’re also becoming increasingly professional.’ He believes that the key issue isn’t just ensuring greater security in WFH setups, but rather overall endpoint protection both inside and outside the company. This includes protection of customer data, such as sensitive telematics data exchanged between SCB and customers. ‘We need to be able to detect and eliminate malicious code as quickly as possible along the “kill chain” – what we might call an attack path,’ says Schöller.
