  • Backup your computer

  • Manage accounts with security in mind. Avoid logging in as an Admin unless necessary.
  • Install anti-malware software
  • Establish a VPN (virtual private network) to connect to your office computer
  • Encrypt drives
  • Use conferencing software intelligently
  • Update network firmware
  • Use complex passwords
