Safety first! But<br \/>\ncybersecurity must not be forgotten\u2026<br \/>\nIn this very particular situation, working remotely will be the only possible way to work<br \/>\nfor many people and a very wise choice for many others. Safety is the absolute priority for<br \/>\nthe moment. But cybersecurity has not to be forgotten if we do not want to add digital<br \/>\nchaos to the \u201cphysical\u201d one. We give you some basic tips to protect yourself and your<br \/>\ninformation during these challenging times.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Devices<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Take extra care that devices such as USBs, phones, laptops, or tablets, are not lost or<br \/>\nmisplaced.<br \/>\n\u2022 Make sure that each device has the necessary updates, such as operating system<br \/>\nupdates (like iOS or Android) and software\/antivirus updates.<br \/>\n\u2022 Ensure that your computer, laptop, or device, is used in a safe location, for example<br \/>\nwhere you can keep sight of it and minimize who else can view the screen<br \/>\n(particularly if working with sensitive personal data).<br \/>\n\u2022 Lock your device if you do have to leave it unattended for any reason.<br \/>\n\u2022 Make sure your devices are turned off, locked, or stored carefully when not in use.<br \/>\n\u2022 Use effective access controls (such as multi-factor authentication and strong.<br \/>\npasswords) and, where available, encryption to restrict access to the device, and to<br \/>\nreduce the risk if a device is stolen or misplaced.<br \/>\n\u2022 When a device is lost or stolen, you should take immediate steps to ensure a remote<br \/>\nmemory wipe, where possible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Emails<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Use work email accounts rather than personal ones for work-related emails involving<br \/>\npersonal data. If you have to use a personal email make sure contents and<br \/>\nattachments are encrypted and avoid using personal or confidential data in subject<br \/>\nlines.<br \/>\n\u2022 Before sending an email, ensure you are sending it to the correct recipient,<br \/>\nparticularly for emails involving large amounts of personal data or sensitive personal<br \/>\ndata.<br \/>\n\u2022 Prefer sending encrypted emails every time, if possible.<br \/>\nCloud and Network Access<br \/>\n\u2022 Do not connect to any public, unknown or unchecked networks<br \/>\no Connect to the 3G or 4G networks if you have no access to a safe Wi-Fi;<br \/>\no Use a VPN.<br \/>\n\u2022 Where possible, only use your organization\u2019s trusted networks or cloud services, and<br \/>\ncomplying with any organizational rules and procedures about the cloud or network<br \/>\naccess, login and, data sharing.<br \/>\n\u2022 If you are working without a cloud or network access, ensure any locally stored data<br \/>\nis adequately backed up securely.<br \/>\n\u2022 Remote access software (like Teamviewer) should be used very carefully and only by<br \/>\nauthorized employees. It has to be always updated, and only used in case of<br \/>\nabsolute necessity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Special for CISO<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Make sure that every mobile device used by the employees is safe and that you have the<br \/>\npossibility to wipe them in case of theft or loss.<br \/>\nUse Mobile Device Management to secure the devices used by the employees<\/p>\n<p>Communicated by SECURITYMADEIN.LU<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Working from home will be the only possible way to work for many people.
