Digital hygiene: Two simple steps to a secure home office
Digital hygiene: Two simple steps to a secure home office
December 9, 2020
Do you know how your company has secured itself against data attacks when employees are on the go or working from home?
When employees work outside the four walls of the office, the company's data is more vulnerable to hacking, viruses, and data breaches; What happens if the PC is stolen, the hotel network is hacked, or a partner gets a virus that infects other computers at home? Digital hygiene protects the company in the same way that hand hygiene protects our health!
Equally affected by data breaches
Small and medium-sized enterprises are affected by data breaches just as often as the largest companies, and the consequences can be just as severe for the business, customers, and employees—regardless of size. Despite this, data security has often been given a higher priority by large companies. The most common reasons for this are the misunderstanding that IT security requires large implementation projects, and that it is complicated and expensive.
We at Procano provide world-leading services in IT security technology that give smaller companies the assurance they need when employees work outside the office. The services are complemented by our skilled security consultants and partners, who continuously monitor and manage incidents.
These are our two best tips for securing your business from the home office:
1. Two-step verification for logging into Microsoft accounts
Two-step verification (authentication) is an extra layer of security for logging in. With two-step verification, you log in with something you know (your password) in addition to something you have (a code on your phone).
As of February 2020, most of our customers are already licensed to use two-step verification for logging into their Microsoft accounts. This is an additional security service, and it does not cost anything extra for the company.
To activate two-step verification for logging into users' Microsoft accounts, we need to configure their Microsoft environment.
2. Upgrade to PRO PC Security Premium
PRO PC Security Premium provides the best security available on the market today. With this comprehensive security package, Procano covers five layers of security: Identity, Password, PC, Browser, and Data.
Our security center monitors and protects all PCs covered by PRO PC Security Premium 24/7-365. The team consists of over 90 security-certified technicians and averts thousands of attacks daily. Should misfortune occur, any ransom demand is covered with up to 1 million dollars in ransomware guarantee.
The upgrade costs only 100,- per month and is made available immediately in your PRO PC Basic client.
The end user must practice internet safety
All employees and companies must practice internet safety, but it is not enough in today’s complex threat landscape. The greatest responsibility for safe IT security lies with the employer to establish internal routines and good digital solutions that compel increased data security.
