1. Encrypt Your Home Wi-Fi
Ensure your home router uses WPA3 or WPA2 encryption with a strong password. Avoid working on open, unsecured public Wi-Fi networks in cafes without a secure Virtual Private Network (VPN).
2. Set Up a Lock Screen Timeout
If you step away from your laptop even for a minute at home or a cafe, someone can access your work files. Configure your lock screen to activate automatically after 2 minutes of inactivity.
3. Use Dedicated Work Devices
Avoid letting children or family members use your work computer for gaming or schoolwork. A single accidental malware download on a shared device can expose your company’s network data.
