Security advice for companies with remote employees.
1. Implement strong password policies: Encourage employees to use complex passwords and change them regularly to prevent unauthorized access to company systems and data.
2. Use multi-factor authentication: Require employees to use an additional form of verification, such as a code sent to their phone, when accessing company resources remotely.
3. Provide secure VPN access: Ensure that remote employees connect to the company network through a virtual private network (VPN) to encrypt their internet connection and protect sensitive data.
4. Educate employees on phishing scams: Train remote workers to recognize and avoid phishing emails and other social engineering tactics that could compromise company security.
5. Update software regularly: Keep all devices and software up-to-date with the latest security patches to protect against known vulnerabilities.
6. Limit access to sensitive information: Grant remote employees access only to the data and systems they need to perform their job duties, and restrict permissions for sensitive information.
7. Monitor network activity: Use monitoring tools to track remote employee activity on the company network and
