Well, with the enormous outbreak of covid-19, there are a lot of people staying home, working from home, and even starting their own small business'. So what about security?
Well, most larger companies that are allowing employees to work from home, are mostly using secure VPN's, which allow access to an individual to the corporate network. These types are quite secure, as they are constantly being monitored.
Those without the luxury of having a VPN network, should if possible set up a firewall on their home network, if they are doing a lot of work with sensitive data.
There are many, many options out there for simple security in this new day and age. Be sure to check out Google for many suggestions. Or leave a comment here and I will offer some advice on what you should and should not need!
Until soon....
