Working from Home

 

Here are 6 Cybersecurity Tips for Working from Home

1. Lock your devices

Be sure to lock devices when you step away from the desk. It is important to keep sensitive information hidden from children, partners, roommates and visitors. On most devices, this can be done via a quick keyboard shortcut.

2. Secure your router’s password

Many of us were not the ones to manually set up our home’s router, so what you may not know is that your router, just like your wireless access, can be logged into. Once you’ve logged in via a username and password,

3. Personal devices vs. work devices

Do what you can to keep personal devices separate from your work devices. Because your personal devices likely are not being monitored by your IT department for software updates and vulnerabilities, avoid using your personal laptop and mobile phone for things that can be done on work laptops and mobile phones.

4. The latest security news

Keep up with security news and share your findings with your coworkers. Dedicate some time on a regular basis to read up on the latest security news to stay in the know about recent vulnerabilities, attacks and breaches. Consider subscribing to news sites that send out weekly digests to reduce the cognitive load of searching for the latest news manually

5. Use a VPN and avoid public Wi-Fi networks

As we head into spring, where the weather begins to improve and public spaces begin to open up safely, the thought of working somewhere outside of your home office, such as a local coffee shop or neighborhood park, is tempting. However, working in a public space can usher in a myriad of security problems

6.Prioritize your mental health

If you happen to find yourself worn out or exhausted from working at home, consider taking a mental health day or two to get out of the “office” and recharge. It can be all too easy to forego important security practices when we feel exhausted from performing our jobs and even more so remotely. Do yourself (and your company!) a favor by taking the utmost care of you and your workspace
