Cyberattacks During COVID-19
Speaker: Mihoko Matsubara
Moderator: Robert Dujarric
21 December 2010 09:30-10:30 Tokyo time

We will review the trend of cyberattacks during the COVID-19 pandemic and share cybersecurity best practices. As the pandemic has made people work from home and become more reliant on information technology than ever, cyberattacks started to target vulnerable remote workers. Furthermore, healthcare institutions including hospitals have been under cyberattacks either to steal intellectual property information such as COVID-19 vaccine or to disrupt their business operations.
