“…According to data recorded during initial lockdowns in Poland, the usage of Open VPN compared to pre-lockdown periods almost doubled and that was the first and straightforward consequence of the measure's governments took to prevent spread of the virus (Karpowicz, 2021). Such services aided a lot in mitigating issues that appeared as a lot of employees were forced to work from home (Bispham et al, 2021). They can also help in common scenarios such as accessing sensitive data from public Wi-Fi networks, but even high level of awareness can sometimes be not enough (Sombatruang et al, 2020).…”

“…Additionally, the rapid deployment of remote access solutions introduced new vulnerabilities, such as insecure protocols and mis-configured VPNs, making corporate networks susceptible to unauthorized access and data breaches. Supply chain disruptions further compounded security risks, as shortages of networking equipment led to the use of outdated or counterfeit devices containing vulnerabilities [231], [232].…”

The network interface layer of the TCP/IP protocol suite, primarily comprised of the Internet Protocol (IP), serves as the backbone of modern internet communication. With its efficient data delivery, The network interface layer, presents key challenges in terms of performance, security, and privacy. This comprehensive survey delves into these three crucial aspects, analyzing the inherent vulnerabilities, limitations of the interface layer, and provide solutions of the related problems. The performance analysis explores throughput, latency, and bandwidth constraints, along with solutions such as bandwidth allocation and optimization techniques. Vulnerabilities within Network Interface Layer, including denial-of-service attacks and MAC address spoofing, are discussed, along with a review of existing security mechanisms. Privacy flaws are examined, covering MAC address tracking, profiling risks, and anonymization techniques, while also addressing privacy considerations on the Internet of Things. The survey analyzes several case studies providing comparative analysis of the network interface layer protocols, with support of the real world scenarios including performance analysis in high density environment, and security and privacy risks in smart homes networks. The findings provide a comprehensive understanding of the complexities surrounding performance, security, and privacy issues future directions and potential solutions.

“…The shift to remote work, commonly known as "working from home" (WFH), posed a new challenge for IT security professionals [4]. Examining data breach trends before and during the global pandemic can provide insights to understand this new challenge and better prepare our cyber security practices/responses based on these data-driven policies.…”

This study examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cybersecurity and data breaches, with a specific focus on the shift toward remote work. The study identifies trends and offers insights into cybersecurity incidents by analyzing data breaches two years before and two years after the start of remote work. Data was collected from the Montana Department of Justice Data Breach database and consisted of data breaches that occurred between April 2018 and April 2022. The findings inform best practices for cybersecurity preparedness in remote work environments, aiding organizations to enhance their defenses. Although the study's data is limited to Montana, it offers valuable insights for cybersecurity professionals worldwide. As remote work continues to evolve, organizations must remain adaptable and vigilant in their cybersecurity strategies.
