Safe at Home

In 2021, working from home is the order of the day. The virtual office is everywhere, from your home to your car to your local coffee shop. Although this means greater convenience and mobility for the workforce, privacy and security threats abound.

 

Remember, even when you’re not in your physical office, you are still vulnerable. Take the following key measures to practice privacy and security from any location.

5 Ways to Practice Privacy and Security

Secure your laptop: Done working for the day? Lock your laptop away in a secure location. And if you’re on the road, make sure it is with you at all times or hidden away in your trunk. 
Secure your physical space: Never leave confidential information out in the open, particularly on your printer. Shred all documents in question and keep your home office clean and organized.
Be private in public: If you are working remotely in a public space, only use secure, password protected networks. Never leave your laptop unattended and be careful not to have confidential phone conversations in places where you could be heard.
Proceed carefully: User error is the #1 cause of data breaches. Every move you make could potentially expose confidential information. Be diligent, and when sending emails, be sure you are sending them to the right recipient and not just the first name that auto-fills in the “To…” field.
Okta is your friend: Okta must be installed on all your devices. You need it for secure user authentication into all of our company apps, and it is required for your company Zoom.

Remote work is a privilege and a responsibility. Take the appropriate steps and precautions to ensure that you are “secure, everywhere.”
