Work safely on the go and from home

A few simple habits protect devices and company data outside the office.

Device

  • Lock your screen whenever you leave your desk: Windows Windows key + L, Mac Ctrl + ⌘ + Q.

  • Never leave devices unattended, e.g. in the car, on the train or in a café.

  • Install updates promptly and don't postpone restarts forever.

Network

  • On public Wi-Fi (hotel, café, train), only work with an active VPN connection or use your own smartphone's hotspot.

  • Protect your home Wi-Fi with a secure password.

Data

  • Store company data in OneDrive, SharePoint or on company servers, not locally or on USB sticks.

  • Don't send company data to private cloud services or private email addresses.

  • Watch out for people listening or reading along during calls and on screen.

Device lost or stolen? Inform support immediately so accounts can be locked and data protected.
