The Coronavirus is forcing employees to work from home remote.  Small to medium businesses are at increased risk to cyber hacking if they don’t have the right systems in place and proper IT policies.  Here are the reasons for the risk and what you can do to mitigate the risk.

The advent of the Coronavirus has forced companies to allow their employees work remotely from home.  Heimdal Security addresses  three bad habits related to remote work that your remote workers may be making that endanger your organization:

  1. Accessing sensitive data through unsafe Wi-Fi networks
  2. Using personal devices for work
  3. Ignoring basic physical security practices in public places

Here are some questions to ask yourself to keep your data secure:

  • Do you have the protocols in place to reduce this risk?
  • Have you done a risk assessment of your IT system?
  • Do your employees know what to avoid to protect your company?
  • Do you have an ISO 27001 Information Security Management System to monitor your processes?
