Best practice makes perfect: malware response in the new normal

Computing surveyed around 150 cyber security decision-makers, representing organisations from a wide variety of industries, including education, finance, technology manufacturing and the public sector, to gain a detailed picture of the challenges facing security teams in the modern environment. Our objectives were to explore how SOC professionals were reacting to the rise in remote working, especially the increased susceptibility of employees to malware attacks; identify how such attacks have changed in terms of scale and sophistication; and examine the importance of quickly isolating and remediating an attack. The research also looks at how to secure their organisations after the pandemic.
