I know how exactly to secure my PCs. I’ve never fallen victim to a phishing attack; gotten infected by way of a worm; been maligned by malware. But I’ve 30-plus years of experience then. You? Probably not. That is why when I read Morphisec‘s recent report on each one of these people working at home (2020 WFH Employee Cybersecurity Thread Index), I was horrified.

It turns out over fifty percent, 56%, of employees are employing their own computers to home based. No! Deep breath. No!

And that tidbit is among the reasons Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) makes more sense now than previously. Just because a DaaS set-up is really a more secure set-up, and that&rsquo apparently; s something needed.

Now, I love you folks – i do really, but I’ve seen the way you secure your house PCs. Some are running Windows 7 still, others haven’t been patched this decade, and let’s not discuss your lousy passwords (123456? Seriously!?) Now, I understand it isn’t your fault; you’re sent home lacking any office laptop and you also gotta do what you’ve gotta do. But, people, that is requesting a security disaster just.

True, there’s a lot you can certainly do to safeguard yourself, your PC, and your corporate IT resources. But, let’s come on. Your task title is something similar to Accountant II, not Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). Security’s hard.
