While most companies focus on the logistics of converting their workflows and file access so that employees can get all aspects of their job completed one critical thing that tends to be often overlooked is security. Because of this there are some bad actors out there who are trying to take advantage of the situation. Hackers find it much easier to gain access to your work computer or network through a Comcast or Verizon router than through an enterprise-grade piece of hardware (which is why a corporate firewall can be well over $1000 and a home firewall is often only around $100).<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Luckily there is a wide range of ways for remote workers to amp up their cybersecurity practices. As a Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP) it is our mission to keep both your network and your employees safe while working from home.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Let\u2019s take a look at a few things you can do to help yourself your employees and your business improve WFH network security practices.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2>Educate Your Employees On Best Work From Home Policies<\/h2>\n<div>They\u2019re the most important part of your network but also the most vulnerable so ensure that they have the tools they need to become an asset rather than a liability.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Education Education Education! Try simulation training videos with Q&amp;A to get your employees familiar with the tools and programs you\u2019re using to work remotely.<\/div>\n<div>Use a VPN Regularly<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>A Virtual Private Network (VPN) has a wide range of use cases one of which is improved security by creating a secure connection between your home and the corporate network. Pretty much all businesses that use a network should invest in a VPN but especially businesses that have a lot of remote workers.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2>Invest in Corporate Antivirus<\/h2>\n<div>Hopefully your employees&#8217; work computers already have both antivirus and antimalware keeping them secure but what about your employee\u2019s home computers that are now connecting to your network and to your customers? If you think you don\u2019t need to invest in antivirus think again. Not only do you need to protect your network your computers and the remote devices that connect to your business\u2019s software but those items need to be protected by corporate-level antivirus software.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2>Always Use 2-Factor Authentication<\/h2>\n<div>Two-factor or multi-factor authentication (2FA or MFA) is a very basic and effective security measure to take for anything that involves a login or password within your applications. Most companies are now offering this feature but you need to dig into the settings to enable it and get it configured. Whenever it is available it should be required for all employees. No exceptions!<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2>Use Cloud Storage<\/h2>\n<div>If you\u2019re not using cloud storage for the myriad of use cases it offers you\u2019re falling behind the competition. Improved security is just one aspect of the cloud that makes it so useful for homing data and applications. Anyone who was on the cloud before the pandemic hit was ahead of the curve and got a big jump on keeping their business running during the transition.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2>Commit to Face-to-Face Virtual Meetings Regularly<\/h2>\n<div>For important discussions and sensitive information opt for face-to-face meetings through platforms like Zoom instead of email or another simplistic platform that could be easily compromised.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2>Let the Pros Take Care of Tech and Security Maintenance for Your Business<\/h2>\n<div>The Logic Group will take on the task of figuring out all of the tech and security practices for your company so that you can stay focused on more important things like actually running your business and focusing on customer service.
