Guest: CF Fong, Founder & Executive Chairman, LGMS Berhad
The rise of polyworking, juggling multiple jobs and side hustles, has been linked to over 6 million cyberattacks in just six months, according to Kaspersky. This new way of working is creating a perfect storm for cybercrime, dramatically expanding the digital attack surface for both individuals and the organizations they work for.
Cybersecurity expert CF Fong, Founder & Executive Chairman of LGMS Berhad, joins us to break down the real-world risks of this trend. He explains how poor password hygiene, device overlap, and the hidden dangers of "Shadow IT" are opening new doors for hackers, and why humans remain the weakest link.
We discuss:
Why "polyworking" creates a wider attack surface for cybercriminals.
The hidden dangers of "Shadow IT" and how it bypasses corporate security.
Why Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is a non-negotiable necessity.
How to create cybersecurity policies that are simple and actually work.
Why cybersecurity is now a "business survival problem," not just an IT issue.
For business leaders, IT managers, and anyone juggling a side hustle, this is an essential guide to the new realities of cybersecurity in a flexible work era.
