Many businesses have become more flexible with a mixture of office-based workers, hybrid workers, and fully remote workers.<\/p>\n<p>We had no idea that we could change so much, so quickly, did we? Work just doesn\u2019t look the same as it did in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>And because of that, cyber security in 2022 doesn\u2019t look the same either. When you have people working away from your office you need to take additional security measures to keep your data safe.<\/p>\n<p>Even before we\u2019d heard the word \u201cCoronavirus\u201d, many of us were working from home now and then. Checking emails at the weekend. Finishing up a project in the evening. Getting a head start on your week.<\/p>\n<p>Now Working From Home has to be taken more seriously. If any of your staff works anywhere away from the office, there\u2019s a chance they\u2019re taking unnecessary risks with your data.<\/p>\n<p>Many businesses seem to have this covered. They\u2019ve invested in new company devices, increased remote security, and have trained their people on best practice.<\/p>\n<p>But there\u2019s something important some businesses haven\u2019t considered.<\/p>\n<p>Unmanaged devices.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s the solution?<\/p>\n<p>The answer isn\u2019t straightforward. Unless your business wants to take on the security responsibility of all of your staff\u2019s home networks, and all of their devices too.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s just not realistic.<\/p>\n<p>However, there are things you can do to lower your risk of an intruder getting into your business network via an unsecured home network. And it all comes down to a layered approach to security.<\/p>\n<p>There are five things we recommend.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Help your team secure their home routers<\/li>\n<li>Make sure your systems are monitored<\/li>\n<li>Reassess your VPN<\/li>\n<li>Carry out a security audit<\/li>\n<li>Trust a true partner to worry about this for you<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cmitsolutions.com\/indianapolis-in-1023\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2023\/02\/2022-01-IT-Guide.pdf\">Read and download our new guide &#8211; How to keep your business\u2019s data safe during the Work From Home revolution<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Are you happy with your current IT support provider?<\/p>\n<p>Your technology strategy is too important to be trusted to a company you don\u2019t have a true partnership with.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re now taking on new clients again. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cmitsolutions.com\/indianapolis-south\/contact-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\">Get in touch and let\u2019s have a short no obligation conversation about your business<\/a>.logy problem is, chances are, we&#8217;ve seen it before.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The security problem of John\u2019s \u201cother\u201d laptop How to keep your business\u2019s&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":111,"featured_media":5346,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24,16],"tags":[89,90,70,21],"class_list":["post-5303","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-indy-guides","category-cmit-indy","tag-remote-work","tag-remote-working","tag-secure-workforce","tag-work-from-home"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cmitsolutions.com\/indianapolis-in-1023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5303","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cmitsolutions.com\/indianapolis-in-1023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cmitsolutions.com\/indianapolis-in-1023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cmitsolutions.com\/indianapolis-in-1023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/111"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cmitsolutions.com\/indianapolis-in-1023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5303"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/cmitsolutions.com\/indianapolis-in-1023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5303\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cmitsolutions.com\/indianapolis-in-1023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5346"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cmitsolutions.com\/indianapolis-in-1023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5303"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cmitsolutions.com\/indianapolis-in-1023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5303"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cmitsolutions.com\/indianapolis-in-1023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5303"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
