Moving from self-contained networks protected by the organization’s firewall to a more global network with remote workers opens up organizations to more types of attacks. One example of this is BGP hijacking attacks, where a malicious actor can route traffic through their own infrastructure, allowing them to monitor, drop, and possibly modify the traffic. This, and other threats not present within enterprise networks, make it necessary for organizations to adopt more comprehensive data security solutions.
