The greatest threats to your company and its data come from hackers and cybercriminals.  It’s just as important, however, to ensure the physical security of your devices while working from home.

Implement these recommendations:

• Shut down your device and store it in a secure place before leaving your home for any reason.
• Lock your computer when you step away from it. This is especially important if you have children or other family members around.
• Place your work devices out of sight at the end of the day. Not only does it keep them from being stolen, but helps you maintain work-life balance.

Because your employees may be required to work from home, their mindset may be, “I may as well use my home computer.”  This is a dangerous mistake.

Home computers and personal mobile devices could be littered with tons of downloaded music, videos, images, and more. Because it’s more exposed, it can invite malware into your business network.

ONLY devices that are under our vigilant watch of patching, updating, and monitoring should be used by your employees to work remotely.  Provide a company-approved and secured computer/laptop for employees to use at home.
