How to Protect
(Continued)
As remote work becomes more common, securing home networks should be a top priority. Don’t leave your network vulnerable to cyber threats that could expose personal and organizational data. You can take simple steps to protect both.
Best Practices:
- Regularly update all equipment and software, enabling automatic updates or installing trusted patches monthly.
- Practice secure habits: back up data, disconnect unused devices, and avoid public charging stations.
- Disable remote administration and make network changes only from within your internal network with approval.
- Use strong, unique passwords, enable MFA, and consider a password manager.
- Protect telework activity: use a VPN for secure access, verify secure websites (lock icon), and choose encrypted collaboration tools.
- Enhance privacy: cover cameras, limit sensitive conversations nearby, and mute microphones when not in use.
- Keep work and personal use separate; don’t share work devices.
- Secure Wi-Fi: rename your network, disable WPS, and create a guest network for visitors and smart devices.
By following these practices, you reduce risks and help protect both your personal and organizational information from cyber threats.
