COVID 19 TIPS: Are your employees leaving this backdoor wide open?

Most of your employees have wireless networks set up in their homes.  Unlike your business Wi-Fi, many home users are lax about creating secure wireless networks – leaving a backdoor open to hackers.  Wi-Fi signals often broadcast far beyond your employees’ homes and out into the streets.  Drive-by hacking is popular among cybercriminals today.

A few tips for securing your employees’ Wi-Fi access points:

• Use stronger encryption and a more complex password
• Hide your wireless network name
• Use a firewall

These security measures are not difficult to set up.  If you have any questions or need assistance, we will be happy to help get your employees set up remotely.
