A new IBM Security poll of 2,001 U.S. adults who are newly working from home because of COVID-19 found that 45 percent didn’t receive security training, and most are using personal laptops and mobile devices.
“The majority of people who went to work from home believed that their organization could keep personal identifiable information (PII) secure while they were working remotely,” the survey found, ThreatPost reports.
Employees of larger companies were more likely to report that their employer is administering their personal devices and providing some cyber training.
Still, that leaves a lot of room for error.

Forbes reports that talk of a “wholesale decoupling” of corporate supply chains from China isn’t likely in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
“What I’m hearing in talking to clients and friends is a lot of talk about reshoring and shortening supply chains. But we’re not equipped to do that in some cases,” said Dan Markovitz, author and President of Markovitz Consulting, a provider of Lean business coaching.
Christian Lanng, co-founder and CEO of Tradeshift, said what appears to be more likely is that manufacturing companies will remain in China, but will diversify and build second and tertiary manufacturing centers.
“Manufacturing can learn a lot from Cloud computing,” Lanng told Forbes.
“It’s organized around a few core principles that apply here, such as being distributed and resilient. Dynamic computer storage can lead the way for dynamic warehousing. A lot of Amazon’s success is because of their thinking this way,” Lanng said. “I think it’ll become a massive trend.”
