Which made the World Health Organization declare it a pandemic. COVID-19 has prompted countries to adopt new behaviors such as social distancing, remote work and the closure of some important businesses and sectors. At the same time, the White Berets are doing their best to absorb the epidemic. However, while white hats protect people, black hats are taking advantage of the situation, leading to the spread of a cybersecurity pandemic.
Organizations have had to adapt to the demand for remote work quickly and at scale. Many have been forced to renovate their physical offices and policies set up in a panic to enable employees to work from home without the necessary training or well-made arrangements. Most of these companies and organizations have no plans on the ground to facilitate this radical and sudden change within a short period.
In fact, only 38% of companies have a cybersecurity policy. By moving to an online environment, organizations and companies around the world have implemented a "work from home" (WFH) business model that increases attack vectors and risks to internal data.
It is noteworthy that WFH has become the new normal for people all over the world. In most scenarios, this refers to requiring employees to use their personal devices and home networks, which are often inherently insecure and lack the required security standards. [1]
The pandemic has created a formidable challenge for companies around the world. The IT they have long relied on—data centers, clouds, departmental servers, and the digital devices their remote employees use to stay connected to each other and to company data—is becoming more important. Overnight, the demands placed on digital infrastructure skyrocketed. [3]
The paper presents cybersecurity attacks during the time of the COVID-19 pandemic, and a lot of information has been collected from the World Health Organization (WHO), trusted organizations, news sources, official government reports and available research articles. The paper then categorizes cybersecurity attacks and threats in the COVID-19 period and provides recommendations and countermeasures for each type. This paper discusses cybersecurity attacks and their countermeasures and reports on ongoing cybersecurity attacks and threats in this time period. Moreover, it is also a step towards analyzing the efficiency of the state's infrastructure as well as the social behavior of hackers and criminals at the time of the pandemic. [2]
