Working from Home (WFH) – the new privacy frontier!

Arguably, one of the most profound effects of the COVID-19 pandemic has been the accelerated shift from the office to working from home (WFH).

The overall trend towards remote working has been well documented, but the COVID-19 pandemic has created the ‘new sub-normal’ for millions and is likely to remain with us well after the global economy has emerged from the deep freeze.
