As Covid-19 is spreading continuously across the globe, we must remain quarantined in our homes. Home office and home-studying offer great opportunities for cyber-criminals. The ECHO network of cybersecurity centers has joined forces to establish its COVID-19 Cyber Defence Alliance in order to support all initiatives that aim at protecting the EU member states, key services critical infrastructure, and users from cyberattacks.
ECHO’s mission is to help protect against any form of cyberattack that would take advantage of the COVID-19 crisis. We have already posted a few tips on how to avoid possible cyber attacks working in the home office, which can be found here.
ECHO is also engaged to continue to draw attention to the correlation between the Covid-19 pandemic and cybersecurity. More information is available here.
