As organizations have turned to video conferencing software to collaborate online while working remotely, new research from Acronis has revealed that 39 percent of companies have experienced a video conferencing attack in the past three months.
To compile its Acronis Cyber Readiness Report 2020, the firm surveyed 3,400 global companies and remote workers in the wake of the ongoing pandemic.
The report found that only 12 percent of global employees now believe that full-time office work is an ideal arrangement. Instead many employees now see an 80 percent office / 20 percent remote split as the best way to move forward.
