Network Security Tips for Remote Employees
Remote work is now standard (27% fully remote, 53% hybrid), but it expands attack surfaces: public Wi-Fi, phishing, weak/reused passwords, unmanaged personal devices, no MFA, unmonitored endpoints, and shadow IT. Core safeguards: use a VPN (especially on public networks), enable MFA, keep OS/apps updated, secure and encrypt devices/data, avoid public Wi-Fi or use hotspots, practice strong unique passwords with a manager, spot phishing, restrict access with RBAC, and monitor/log activity. NordLayer helps implement Zero Trust with Business VPN, Cloud Firewall, MFA, device posture checks, split tunneling, DNS filtering, Cloud LAN/Site-to-Site, and real-time monitoring—deployable without disrupting existing IT.
