In this era of widespread remote work, we’re facing the accelerated evolution of cyber threats. We can all thank the COVID-19 pandemic for undoubtedly accelerating the shift towards remote work, but it has also opened a Pandora’s box of cybersecurity risks.

These risks don’t just stem from sophisticated ransomware or malware attacks but also from simpler and seemingly harmless habits such as the use of weak passwords, lack of security on personal devices, and unsecured WiFi networks.

Proactive Defence: Your Best Ally Against Ransomware

Ransomware, a vicious type of malware, targets the most vulnerable: those who have not adequately secured their data and devices. As cybercriminals become more innovative, we must stay a step ahead. At Proximitum, our suite of security solutions proactively safeguards your data and systems, reducing the likelihood of a successful ransomware attack.

The Power of Strong Passwords

We can’t stress enough the importance of strong passwords. Weak or recycled passwords are an open invitation for cybercriminals to access your sensitive data. We offer robust password management tools and training to ensure a strong first line of defence for your remote workforce.

Secure File Sharing: Confidence in Collaboration

Remote work often necessitates file-sharing. While it’s convenient, it could expose your sensitive data to prying eyes. Thankfully, secure file-sharing solutions can ensure your information stays encrypted, both in storage and transit, providing you with peace of mind when collaborating.

Securing Your WiFi: The Gateway to Your Network

Your team might be working from home, coffee shops or shared workspaces, and each location poses its own set of cybersecurity risks. It’s vital to employ solutions that extend your corporate security to each employee’s home or remote workspace, ensuring their WiFi connection is as secure as if they were in the office.

Personal Devices: The Invisible Threat

The use of personal devices for work is a massive security risk. Our comprehensive solutions extend the same level of security from your company devices to your employees’ personal devices, ensuring seamless and secure connectivity.

The shift to remote work is here to stay, and with it comes a new set of cybersecurity threats. But you’re not alone.
