Abstract: The sudden shift to remote working has left businesses at a far higher risk of cyberattacks, largely due to their corporate infrastructure being exposed to new external attack vectors and threats. Although cybercriminals worldwide used the global COVID-19 crisis to spread their wings on an unprecedented scale, there are possibilities and ideas that administrators and regular users can come up with. This paper deep-dives into the top ten mistakes related to remote work security, different situations hackers can create to be able to access the company's information by overusing the situation, and solutions and approaches companies can implement to create a safe workplace. This topic is crucial for all cloud/identity admins, as it showcases problems with identity that can be found in almost every organisation, which most probably will be a part of the IT reality for many years to come.
