Whether you’re working from home, the local café, or on-the-go, your business data needs to stay secure. Remote work brings flexibility but also increases cyber threats. Here’s how you can stay secure:
Many SMEs overlook the security implications of remote working, mistakenly assuming home or café networks are safe. However, public Wi-Fi hotspots are prime targets for hackers looking to intercept data. Consider investing in mobile hotspots or tethering to personal devices as safer alternatives.
Moreover, ensure your team is educated on best practices for securing home Wi-Fi networks, including changing default passwords, enabling encryption, and disabling remote management options. Additionally, regular cybersecurity training sessions can significantly improve employees’ ability to identify potential threats, reducing the risk of accidental breaches.
For comprehensive guidance, the NCSC offers extensive resources tailored specifically for SMEs managing remote teams. Adopting clear remote working policies and regularly reviewing them ensures your business remains protected in a rapidly evolving cyber landscape.
Secure working doesn’t have to be complex. These simple steps can keep your sensitive information safe no matter where you log in.
