Certainly precautions considering the health of our friends,
families and co-workers are foremost in our minds at this
challenging time. While our lives and workplaces are disrupted in
various ways, we should still be keeping privacy and security in
mind.
Cyber-Safety
We are getting reports that online threats are higher than
normal. When we are distracted, it is easier to be taken advantage
of, especially with many more people working from home than usual.
Here are some tips to help individuals and organizations maintain
cyber-safety:
- Do not disable any security
mechanisms like VPNs or remote access protections available or
provided by your organization.
- Organizations should ensure that
networks remain monitored and there is a contingency plan in place
to address IT-related issues. Attackers are aware that fewer people
are in the office.
