Are your employees working at home now, using their own device or a company laptop with old software? Are they not using a Virtual Private Network connection (VPN) for communication? In that case, you may be opening the door of your company network to hackers.
A first quick win to protect your business data from theft or ransomware? Update your software and operating system and ask your employees to do the same.
Make sure that everyone collaborates and downloads your business data via your secure VPN solution. The VPN ensures that your employees get secure (encrypted) and anonymous (redirected) access to your network and therefore makes the internet connection more secure.
In the longer term, you may consider a secure private network in the Cloud. At Dstny, we always work and communicate via our VPN connection. A firewall in the Cloud protects our entire network and therefore all our colleagues and their devices - wherever we are. We manage that security centrally and simply add individual users and their devices.
