As employees work from home, companies face new risks that can put their sensitive information at risk. The question is, are you doing enough to protect your business?

Testing Remote Data Security

• Exploring the security of business data while working remotely.

• The goal is to keep hackers out and ensure sensitive information stays protected.

Why Remote Work Increases Risk

• The shift to remote work means employees often use personal devices and public networks, presenting new vulnerabilities.

• Public networks (coffee shops, airports) and unprotected devices can expose business data to attacks.

• Employees may skip best practices like strong passwords or file encryption, making breaches easier for hackers.

How to Protect Data Remotely

• Use a VPN to encrypt internet traffic and shield data from prying eyes.

• Implement firewalls to block suspicious network activity and unauthorized access.

• Employee training is essential: teach staff about using strong passwords, handling email attachments warily, and reporting anything suspect.
