Swedish companies’ adaptation to remote work through a cybersecurity perspective (English)
Abstract [sv]

I och med att fler jobbar på distans till följd av covid-19 har rapporter uppmärksammat att cyberangrepp som utnyttjar situationen, har ökat. Detta har gjort att myndigheter och cybersäkerhetsbyråer har kommit ut med råd om hur säkerheten vid distansarbete kan stärkas. Syftet med denna undersökning var att ta reda på hur svenska företag anpassat sig till den rådande situationen ur ett cybersäkerhetsperspektiv samt huruvida de blivit påverkade av de ökande cyberangreppen. I undersökningen intervjuades fem personer om cybersäkerheten på företaget de jobbar på. Resultatet visar att företag klarat av anpassningen till distansarbete utan några större svårigheter och att de har haft någon form av policy, rutiner, och tekniker för att stärka cybersäkerheten. Man har inte kunnat se att mängden cyberangrepp ökat eller minskat till följd av att fler jobbar på distans. 

Abstract [en]

Covid-19 has led to more people working from home and reports have shown that cyberattacks taking advantage of the situation have increased. This has prompted law enforcement agencies and cybersecurity bureaus to release recommendations on how to increase the cybersecurity when working from home. The purpose of this research was to gauge how Swedish companies have adapted to the current situation from a cybersecurity perspective, and whether they have been affected by the increasing number of cyberattacks. In this research five people were interviewed about the cybersecurity in their workplace. Results show that an adaptation to remote work on a larger scale was performed without any greater issues, and that the companies have had some form of policy, routines, and technologies in place to strengthen the security. Increased number of remote workers have had seemingly no impact on the amount of cyberattacks.
