Make your home hack-proof this summer


Hybrid working, where we work both from an office and from our homes, brings some brilliant benefits, such as the flexibility to choose where we work, but it also brings some risks.

When working in an office, many of us have access to professional and comprehensive security technology that is set up and maintained by an IT department or team. However, when working from home we don’t have that luxury, and when dealing with important and sensitive data for work, you can’t just rely on the built-in virus protection of your operating system to keep you safe.

The good news is that there are some easy ways to boost the security of your home office and ensure there’s no danger of hackers getting easy access to your data, so read on for simple steps to keep you and your work protected.
