Is It Time for Your Home Office to Get a Cybersecurity Checkup? Home Networks are Often Less Secured and Often Provide an Easy Entry Point for Criminals.
More than ever people are working from home and employees are using their home networks to access company applications and data. The downside to this is that home networks are more vulnerable to cyber-attacks than office networks.
Adding fuel to the fire, the rise of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, such as smart televisions, and other appliances has also expanded the attack surface for criminals. Hackers are now targeting home networks to gain access to company data and at an alarming rate.
How to protect yourself
Purchase a firewall: First and foremost, safeguarding your home network from cyber-attacks is crucial. By investing in a firewall, you can efficiently protect your network. A firewall acts as a shield, blocking incoming attacks, detecting and thwarting brute force attacks, defending against phishing attempts, and restricting traffic from unsecured devices. At a reasonable price range of $105 - $300, the benefits of securing your home network far surpass the costs.
