Preventing data leaks in remote work

[Thomas Leonel]

Hi! With everyone in my team working remotely, I've started worrying more about data security. People use home Wi-Fi, personal laptops, and sometimes public networks. It feels like leaks could happen too easily. What practical tips are out there to help companies keep their remote setups secure?

Hi! I dug into this at https://hackerspaceshop.com/ and found an article called Preventing Data Leaks in Remote Work Scenarios. It makes a good point that unsecured networks and untrained staff are the biggest risks. The article recommends using VPNs, two-factor authentication, and secure channels like encrypted faxing instead of regular email for sensitive files. Another tip was limiting access, so not everyone in the team can open confidential documents. Training employees to spot phishing attempts is also key, since mistakes are often the root cause of leaks. Regular system updates and audits can close hidden gaps. I thought the best takeaway was that you don't need huge budgets - just consistent habits and the right tools.
