Since the pandemic, more of us are working from home than ever, enjoying the freedom that it gives us. Many find it’s more motivating and offers flexibility to live your life the way you want to without a lengthy commute and the distractions that the office brings. Yet one of the biggest issues that businesses are facing when their employees work from home is cybersecurity. It is much easier to monitor the way that everyone is using their computers and devices when you are all in one place. When employees are sitting in different buildings using their own devices you can be at risk of sensitive information and details being leaked or hackers getting control of important data.
