However, 60 per cent of this activity was done on devices used for work, which could potentially lead to malware infections if employees do not pay attention to the resources and websites they visit.

Kaspersky recommends employers follow certain measures such as scheduling basic security awareness training for employees; ensuring devices, software, applications, and services are kept updated with the latest patches; and installing proven protection software, such as Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud, on all endpoints, including mobile devices, and switch on firewalls.
