Cyber security when working from home

Keeping your computers and data secure in the new normal post-pandemic world.

Never in our history has the way we work changed so quickly like it has in 2020. The Covid-19 pandemic has meant that for many businesses, remote work, mobile work, working from home has been the way to survive.

And while it was health and government restrictions that made the shift necessary, it’s brought to light the benefits of working from home. Better work/life balance, less stress from the daily commute, even monetary savings – less transport costs, lunches, takeaway coffees to name but a few.

As we head towards 2021, it’s unlikely that the typically workplace, work week we’ve come to know will ever be fully restored. Companies, large and small, are considering a more flexible working arrangement for their teams – adopting a climate where working remotely, even part of the time, will become the new normal.
