With many people working from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been an increase in cyber threats targeting remote workers. Here are a few ways that you can stay secure while working remotely:

Use a secure internet connection: Make sure that you are using a secure internet connection when working remotely, either through a virtual private network (VPN) or a secure connection provided by your employer. This will help protect your data from being intercepted by third parties.
Use strong passwords and enable two-factor authentication: Use strong, unique passwords for all of your accounts, and enable two-factor authentication whenever possible. This will help protect against password-related attacks. For more information read my blog post on password management
Keep your software and devices up to date: Make sure that all of your software and devices are kept up to date with the latest security patches and updates. This will help protect against vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers.
Be careful when clicking on links or downloading attachments: Be cautious when clicking on links or downloading attachments, especially if they come from unfamiliar sources. This can help protect against phishing attacks and other types of malware.
Use secure communication methods: When communicating with coworkers or clients, use secure communication methods such as encrypted email or messaging apps. This will help protect the confidentiality of your communication.
Keep your work environment secure: Make sure that your work environment is secure, especially if you are working in a shared space. This could include locking your computer when you are away, using a privacy screen, and keeping your work materials secure.

By following these steps, you can help protect yourself and your company's data while working remotely.
