But along with that freedom and flexibility to work from home we need to take some safety actions while working for protect our Laptops, Mobile devices and company’s important data.

We have some guidelines and best practices for work from home.

1. This is the most basic, but by no means the only step you should take to secure your company’s files. Your laptop must be having Antivirus with latest update patch.
2. Don't allow family members to use your work devices. Treat your work-issued laptop, mobile device and sensitive data as if you were sitting in a physical office location. This will help you continuously associate your actions with a security-first and data-aware mentality in mind. If you think of your laptop and mobile devices as work-only assets, it makes it far easier to control access to sensitive data.
3. Keep your physical work-space secure. While virtual security is important, it's equally important to make sure that your home working space is physically secure. Like: Use laptops on proper table and chair like our office environment. Do not use laptops on Dining table, sofas and on the floor. Its help us it from physical damage of devices with water, food and dust. Lock or shutdown laptop while not using or at the time of taking break.
