Cybersecurity tips for smart remote working
Keep Software Updated:
Install software updates promptly, including antivirus programs. Updates often fix security flaws and enhance protection.
Use a VPN (Virtual Private Network):
If accessing your employer’s network, keep the VPN active. It encrypts data transmission, preventing cybercrooks from intercepting sensitive information.
Avoid public Wi-Fi networks unless connected through your employer’s VPN.
Strong Passwords and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA):
Use complex, unique passwords for accounts.
Enable MFA to add an extra layer of security.
Secure Home Networks:
Understand your organization’s telework policies.
Avoid using personal devices (shared or personal) for work.
Stay Informed:
Educate yourself about cybersecurity threats.
Regularly back up important data and stay current on avoiding cyber risks.
Remember, vigilance and proactive measures are essential for a secure remote work environment!
