Working from home is mainly online

As a result of Coronavirus, many organizations have employees working from home. We think that many of them seem quite used to this situation after a few days, as a result of the explosion of activity on our security awareness learning portal. Now we often see large peaks around the end of the month and quarter. Apparently, employees are then urged to do their online privacy and security training. Only this time it's different. The amount of employees who are active on our platform at the same time

Maybe it's because they have more time, because they don't have travel time. Or maybe they just need a distraction. It won't happen anyway, because they realize that working from home also involves other privacy and security risks.

Tips for working safely from home

Does your organization still offer no online privacy and security training? Then here are three tips:

TIP 1:

Stop sharing your home workplace on social media. In any case, pay attention to what someone else can see. So no screens with e-mail messages, passwords etc. But also not a locked screen with your username on it.

TIP 2:

Now that everyone is working from home, following school online and learning, that can be quite a challenge . But realize that criminals also know that you work from home and are likely to receive all kinds of invitations to collaborate online. Beware of phishing and malicious websites that pretend to be an online video calling or collaboration tool.

TIP 3:

Speaking of online video calling. It's very tempting to try out all those tools these days to see which one you like best. Or to tell a colleague that you have found a new one. Not all online video calling tools are well secured. And most don't handle your privacy well, even though their website states that they comply with the GDPR. Therefore, it is preferable to use the tools made available by your organization.
