Due to the coronavirus pandemic, millions of people have found themselves working from home and accessing important work-related data from their residential internet connections. It’s important to understand that devices are still vulnerable to attacks despite being with you at home. Vigilance at home, just like at the office, is crucial to maintaining the security of your own personal, and private company data. It’s up to all of us to maintain high security standards for our devices, whether we’re at work or at home. https://youtu.be/MRvIFuT0wzk
