# Covid19 Can Infect Not Only You but Your Devices!

Given the conjuncture of # COVID19, it is clear that teleworking may become the only option to keep productive certain sectors of the economy that, in countries like Colombia, are currently limited to have the usual dynamics of going to the office.



That being the case, employees can avoid wasting time physically moving from one place to another! But, the big question that many employers have is: how safe can this practice be? The answer to this question can vary greatly depending on the infrastructure and planning of each organization.

For the same reason, before running to send everyone to the house, it is worth planning a cold head the steps to follow . Once that part is ready, it is worth adding awareness to each member of the organization about the risks to which they may be exposed and the care that must be taken when entering corporate documents and networks from devices other than the company.

To better illustrate the above, we decided to speak with the Trend Micro expert about the current situation in Latin America and how Cybersecurity has been affected in COVID19 times by these 3 factors:


  • Social engineering,
  • Changes in Infrastructure,
  • Work at Home.


It is quite interesting to see how cybercriminals have addressed the COVID19 issue to generate all kinds of spam (via email, SMS and other messaging applications) and / or malicious code in order to infect and seize credentials, bank information, use infrastructure (to mine cryptocurrencies) or, to supplant the identity of the dams.

Finally, it is worth knowing the symptoms that could indicate a possible infection in terms of each of the devices used on a daily basis for #TeleTrabajo . Also, it is necessary to know the good practices to have a good digital hygiene!
