Online VulnerabilitiesĪnother great risk for remote workers is the vulnerability of their data when sharing it online, particularly when they have to use public Wi-Fi. This means that there are no established policies and procedures for securing those pieces of equipment for either party. Utilizing New ToolsĪs opposed to the standardized equipment typically used in a conventional office, remote workers use a variety of software and hardware on their own. Since most people who work from home usually use the same software and hardware to manage their personal and work lives, unfortunate events such as having their laptops stolen could result in the loss of sensitive information for their clients, as well as for themselves.
