Tips to protect privacy of home worker

Many people work from their homes these days, because of the existing quarantine to prevent an outbreak of the Corona virus. To meet this challenge, the UK's National Cybersecurity Center published its guidance on data protection, when employees work outside of the normal office environment.

The center's recommendations include the following:

1- Create written guides and guidelines for the new program that employees will use, existing applications that will be used in a different way, or even basic elements such as how to log in, use meeting tools, and chat online.

2- Make sure that the devices encrypt the data in a state of rest, to protect the data on the device in case it is lost or stolen. Most modern devices have built-in codecs, and users only need to start and update them.

3- Use MDM portable device management tools to set up standard configuration devices, and also to remotely lock devices, wipe data or recover backups.

4- Ensure that VPN networks are enabled and remember that you may need additional licenses or bandwidth, if your organization usually has a limited number of remote users.

5- Know the procedures to be followed in the event of losing or stealing the device you are working on, and quickly inform the company officials about this, to mitigate the damages that can occur, and for companies, they must be more flexible in dealing with such cases, to encourage employees To report the incident.

6- USB removable drives can contain a lot of sensitive data, and they can be easily lost, so avoid using them to store work-related data.

7- Installing anti-virus and malware programs on the computer used to work with updating them constantly.

8- Avoid using public Wi-Fi networks, such as networks provided by parks, restaurants, or hotels.

9 - Try as much as possible to avoid using the computer used for work for other purposes such as entertainment or games.

10- Use alternative methods of data transmission such as cloud storage.

11- Avoid opening emails from unknown sources, as hackers try to use these messages to install malicious software to penetrate your device.

12- Change passwords every few days on your device, while creating passwords that are difficult to crack, and it is best to use an expert from the company you work with to do this.

13- Contact your company's network expert immediately when any problem occurs on your home computer.

Google announced that it has taken a number of technical measures to increase the security of the work of Android devices and protect the privacy of its users. The programming giant indicated that this type of device will become safer thanks to the recent amendments to its software and operating systems, the most important of which is the automatic activation of the Google Play Protect service, which the user could previously enable or disable according to his desire.

Thanks to these modifications, Google Play Protect is able to detect suspicious activities that hackers attempt to penetrate electronic devices.

In addition to the above, Google Play Protect has imposed on Android devices users also some restrictions to protect them from suspicious applications that they can install on their phones from unofficial sites not linked to Google e-store.
