Protect the devices of your home workers?

June 20, 2021

Do your employees also work more from home? Undoubtedly, but do you also protect the connections enough and do you not expose yourself to hackers? Know that hackers are taking advantage of this period to launch more attacks and that all that homework makes your network more vulnerable than ever. We already give you 4 tips to better protect your homeworkers.

Tip 1 l Configure a security policy

Without a security policy you run enormous risks. Have this drawn up by professionals and get advice. Know that an audit can never hurt and that it can save you a lot of misery. Make sure you always know where your data is located and which devices your employees will use for you. After all, you cannot secure what you don't know. Trust is good, but security is better.

Tip 2 l Watch out for phishing and ransomware

Phishing and ransomware are the two biggest threats to home workers. Home workers are often slightly less attentive and are therefore more likely to fall into the trap. In addition, very often unsecured devices and connections are used, which makes things easier for people with malicious intent. Moreover, some social control is lost and it cannot be quickly verified whether something is reliable or not. So watch out. Notify your employees regularly.

Tip 3 l Support your employees remotely

Ensure that you secure your employees' mail traffic, communicate your rules clearly with your employees and make sure they know what they must adhere to. Good agreements make good friends. There are many useful tools on the market that offer great protection: use these too.

Tip 4 l Ensure minimal inconvenience for your employees

The less inconvenience your employees experience from security, the greater the chance that they will follow the rules. The new security solutions are extremely user-friendly and many things can be arranged with the smartphone.
