Flexible working offers freedom, but also introduces new security risks. Sharing a photo of your home workspace, working on a personal device or connecting via public wifi can unintentionally expose sensitive information.

In the e-learning Flexible Working, employees learn how to safely handle information outside the traditional office environment. Through recognisable scenarios, the course shows how customer data, passwords or internal information can accidentally be shared via photos, screens or apps.

The course addresses the use of personal devices for work (bring your own device) and explains why separating work and private use is essential. Participants learn how malware, data breaches and unintended data sharing can occur when business files are shared via personal apps, email or cloud storage.

Topics such as safe wifi use, proper VPN usage, working with organisation-approved applications and the risks of smart devices at home are also covered. In addition, the course discusses the use of AI tools, such as generative AI, and explains what should and should not be shared when it comes to confidential information.

With clear guidance and practical tips, this e-learning helps employees make informed choices and work securely — wherever they are.
