In terms of business, arguably the most notable shift has been the increase in the number of people <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">working from home<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Although it was already a growing trend, a majority of companies had yet to adopt this business model. Now, more organizations than ever are allowing their workforce to telecommute.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A good reason for the continued use of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">work from home<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is that it provides benefits like cost savings and improved quality of life. However, what many employers may not have realized is, there are cyber risks that come with this business model. Anyone who works outside of the office is more prone to cyberattacks than those who are inside the office.

Your company fends off <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cybersecurity<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> threats by using enterprise-level cyber security solutions. It\u2019s important to remember the security-level of the average home network is often substandard when compared to an office environment. Since this is the case, your employees lose this protection and instead have to rely on their own <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">network security<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In short, your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">remote workers<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can find themselves more exposed to threats like social engineering attacks and computer viruses. The easiest way to help your staff avoid security risks is by operating with caution. Develop a strong home security plan that takes hardware and software into consideration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you need help figuring out how to protect your remote staff, a reliable <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">managed service provider<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can help.

Even if you have the best firewall and monitoring services in the world, all it takes is for one person to bring your network crumbling down.

Make it known that once your employees are done with their work, they need to store their device in a secure location.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"lp-pom-text-364\" class=\"lp-element lp-pom-text nlh\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"lp-pom-text-34\" class=\"lp-element lp-pom-text nlh\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-l2p3sow3-8572b1cc8f59af8b338d4ec1662d5c43\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-l2p3sow3-8572b1cc8f59af8b338d4ec1662d5c43{\nmargin:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding-bottom:0;\ncolor:#7e8f87;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-l2p3sow3-8572b1cc8f59af8b338d4ec1662d5c43 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-l2p3sow3-8572b1cc8f59af8b338d4ec1662d5c43 .special-heading-inner-border{\nborder-color:#7e8f87;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-l2p3sow3-8572b1cc8f59af8b338d4ec1662d5c43 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-l2p3sow3-8572b1cc8f59af8b338d4ec1662d5c43 av-special-heading-h3 custom-color-heading blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-18  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  av-linked-heading'><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Use Strong Passwords<\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-l2p3szhy-aee8330e4b2db7dd8e1ea23750426538 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><div id=\"lp-pom-text-32\" class=\"lp-element lp-pom-text nlh\">\n<div id=\"lp-pom-text-364\" class=\"lp-element lp-pom-text nlh\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Logging into accounts is just something most employees have to do during the workday. The more accounts an employee has, the more likely they are to use passwords that are simple or easy to remember. The reason why this is a problem is because these kinds of passwords are easy to crack.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A password should always be complex and hard to guess. It\u2019s a best practice to use multiple characters, symbols, and numbers when creating a password. If you\u2019re afraid of forgetting all of your passwords, a password manager would allow you to keep all your passwords in one place. This means you only have to remember a single password.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"lp-pom-text-364\" class=\"lp-element lp-pom-text nlh\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"lp-pom-text-34\" class=\"lp-element lp-pom-text nlh\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-l2p3t98o-75f3941ec0213d36bbaaecee99b2b98c\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-l2p3t98o-75f3941ec0213d36bbaaecee99b2b98c{\nmargin:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding-bottom:0;\ncolor:#7e8f87;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-l2p3t98o-75f3941ec0213d36bbaaecee99b2b98c .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-l2p3t98o-75f3941ec0213d36bbaaecee99b2b98c .special-heading-inner-border{\nborder-color:#7e8f87;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-l2p3t98o-75f3941ec0213d36bbaaecee99b2b98c .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-l2p3t98o-75f3941ec0213d36bbaaecee99b2b98c av-special-heading-h3 custom-color-heading blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-20  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  av-linked-heading'><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Use Multi-Factor Authentication<\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-l2p3tpap-2aeba07861cef60236b757c185a5d40a '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><div id=\"lp-pom-text-32\" class=\"lp-element lp-pom-text nlh\">\n<div id=\"lp-pom-text-364\" class=\"lp-element lp-pom-text nlh\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Strong passwords<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are great, but <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">multi-factor authentication<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (MFA) is even better. This solution adds an extra layer of security to your logins by requiring two or more forms of verification. MFA works by first asking for login information. Once that information is entered, the user is asked to submit another identifier. This may be something like a message with a specific code sent to the user\u2019s phone or email account.
