The concept of cyber hygiene is a deceptively simple one: It involves a series of practices and precautions that, when repeated regularly, keep users safe and their devices working as they should be. Keeping Remote Workers SafeOne of the most critical places on which to focus cyber hygiene efforts is remote workers. Unfortunately, enforcing cyber hygiene for remote workers seems to be low on the list for overworked IT teams – somewhere below keeping the business up and running and ensuring access to business applications and essential resources. Of course, the challenge is that employees working from home are using unsecured personal devices, from laptops to smartphones to tablets, to stay connected during the workday. Top Cyber Hygiene Tips to secure Remote WorkersEnsure all employees receive substantial training , both when hired and periodically throughout their tenure, on how to spot and report suspicious cyber activity, maintain cyber hygiene, and on how to secure their personal devices and home networks.
