Five tips for a safe workplace in a digital world
Work can now be done anywhere. From home on the couch, at the kitchen table or from your own home office. In the previous blog you read how easy it was to work from home; in this blog, we take a closer look at the security of your data when employees work from home. With these five tips, your employees will work securely anywhere!
1. Use a secure login
In addition to a strong password, using multiple authentication (also called two-factor authentication) secures even stronger logins to devices to data or even from specific apps. If an employee then logs in, it must be done in two steps. For example, by entering a code that the employee receives via text message. This will still prevent someone who has stolen a password from logging in and accessing your company-sensitive data.
2. Keep control of all devices
It doesn't matter what and on which employees work, whether it's a PC, laptop, smartphone or tablet. If it has sensitive data on it, the right software allows you to remotely erase it from the device in the event of loss or theft.
3. Provide protection against attacks
If you use up-to-date security software from Microsoft, for example, it will protect your e-mail from malware attacks and false links. That software can also provide insight into how well managed your security is and help you reduce risk. In and out of the office.
4. Keep control of data
Like the devices employees use, you can also manage data all by yourself. With the right software, you can prevent employees or criminals, even remotely, from unwittingly forwarding, storing, editing or printing sensitive information.
5. Unburden conscious employees
Hacks are often successful because of careless employee behavior. Employees who are careful in what they click on - both in the office and remotely - contribute to data security. Furthermore, they should always lock their screen when they are not working on their device for a while. With handy software that does this automatically, you can unburden your employees in this area.
