During the first half of this year 2020, the security firm Trend Micro blocked 8.8 million cyber threats that took advantage of Covid-19 to infect computers. Spam through email was the main way used to carry out different types of fraud, accounting for almost 92% of the total.
This data comes from the report for the first six months of the year published by Trend Micro, which shows how cybercriminals changed their strategies since the beginning of the year to take advantage of the interest aroused by the pandemic around the world.
The university centers are designing what the return to the classrooms will be like next September. It will undoubtedly be a different beginning of the academic year, marked by the demands of the “new normal” due to Covid-19.
The Carlos III University of Madrid (UC3M) is already preparing to adopt the necessary security measures to face the Coronavirus. Among them, they have decided to reduce as much as possible that students have to go to the computer rooms located on campus. In order to do this, most of the applications needed to carry out their teaching practices will be available through virtual desktops with UDS Enterprise.
The new way of working that came with the Coronavirus is still a current issue. The articles related to remote working in our blog have been the ones that have aroused the most interest among our followers during this last month.
The Administration and Services staff of the Universitat de les Illes Balears (UIB) are using virtual desktops managed and deployed by UDS Enterprise to work from home during the health crisis due to Covid-19. “From the first day that the university closed its facilities, this solution has allowed all the staff to work remotely, accessing their work tools with a simple web browser. Thanks to UDS Enterprise, they have been able to keep on working in a very similar way as they had done at the university,” explains Xavier Pons, Head of the infrastructure area at the UIB Information Technology Center.
Organizations of all types and sizes have trusted the UDS Enterprise connection broker for years, among other things, to facilitate remote working and distance learning. It is one of the intrinsic possibilities of our software, which allows secure access to any computer tool at any time, from any place and device.
The Covid-19 pandemic has imposed a new reality, in which work and teaching from home have become the only way for companies and educational centers to continue their activity. To help these entities know the best way to solve the challenges posed by this new situation, we have created a new section on our website on Remote Working.
