Why Working from Home Could Take Down Your Business â Beware These Security Threats
Most business IT systems werenât designed for everyone to be working from home at the same time â yet that is exactly what is happening right now across the country.
A simple way to help get around these issues is to set up a business-managed wireless access point for staff to connect to and create a âvirtualâ network, which will remain separate from the rest of their home.
Because work computers are being used in a non-secure network, you also need to ensure all data being transmitted to and from the device is encrypted. To do this, you need a VPN. Hosted VPNs are more secure than office VPNs and will ensure traffic canât be âsnooped onâ. Just make sure you set up multi-factor authentication to prevent access even if a password is breached.
