Do you know how your company has secured itself against cyber attacks when employees are on the go or working from home?

When employees work outside the office walls, the company's data is more vulnerable to hacking, viruses, and data breaches; What happens if the laptop is stolen, the hotel network is hacked, or your partner gets a virus that spreads to other computers in the home? Digital hygiene protects the company in the same way that hand hygiene protects our health!

Small and medium-sized businesses are just as likely to experience data breaches

Small and medium-sized businesses are just as likely to experience data breaches as the largest companies, and the consequences can be equally serious for the business, customers, and employees - regardless of size. Despite this, data security has often been a higher priority for large companies. The most common reasons for this are the misunderstanding that IT security requires large implementation projects, and that this is complex and expensive.
At Procano, we deliver world-leading services in IT security technology that provide smaller companies with the security they need when employees work outside the office. The services are complemented by our skilled security consultants and partners, who continuously monitor and handle incidents.
Here are our top two tips to secure your business from the home office:

1. Implement two-step verification for logging into Microsoft accounts

Two-step verification (authentication) is an additional security level for logging in. With two-step verification, you log in with something you know (your password) in addition to something you have (a code on your phone).

As of February 2020, most of our customers are already licensed to enable two-step verification for logging into their Microsoft accounts. This is an additional security service, and it does not cost the company anything extra.

To activate two-step verification for logging into users' Microsoft accounts, we need to configure their Microsoft environment.

2. Upgrade to PRO PC Security Premium

PRO PC Security Premium provides the best security available on the market today. With this comprehensive security package, Procano covers five layers of security: Identity, Password, PC, Browser, and Data.

Our security center monitors and protects all PCs covered by PRO PC Security Premium 24/7-365. The team consists of over 90 security-certified technicians and thwarts thousands of attacks daily. However, in the event of an incident, any ransomware demand is covered up to $1 million in ransomware guarantee.

The upgrade costs only $100 per month and is immediately available in your PRO PC Basic client.

End users must demonstrate internet etiquette

All employees and businesses must demonstrate internet etiquette, but it is not enough given today's complex threat landscape. The greatest responsibility for secure IT lies with the employer to establish internal procedures and good digital solutions that enforce increased data security.
