Mar 27, 2020 | Posted by Annmarie Budniak | HIT Feed, News |

The coronavirus pandemic has forced many workers out of their workplaces and into their homes. This proposes challenges including staying active, keeping one’s mental and emotional well-being in check, and cybersecurity. This week’s Friday Five focuses on strategies to help make that adjustment to working from home.

Coronavirus Teleworking Cybersecurity at Home
Semel Consulting reviews a teleworking article published by Inc. Magazine (@inc) going over the DOs and DON’Ts of keeping protected or sensitive information confidential when working from home. Check out Mike Semel’s 8 Cybersecurity Tips for Working Remotely  Infographic. The first DO is use a secure connection to ensure end-to-end encryption of data in transit. This can be a VPN to the office or from home to a security filtering company that will verify web connection links for safety. The first DON’T is do not use the computer in an accessible place in the house where others may see what is on the screen. If you have to use your kitchen table turn everything so your family can’t see your screen.
