Many people are working from the safety of their homes during the COVID-19 crisis. This change in work environment poses data security risks for organizations of all sizes. To help ensure you and your employees are working securely, we recommend reviewing the following tips.
Technology is a wonderful thing when it works correctly. Fortunately, our devices give us ample warning signs that they are getting ready to fail. When they do, it is important to take steps to avoid data loss. Otherwise, if you don’t, you may need to rely on a data recovery service to attempt to recover data on the failed device – which isn’t always a guarantee it can be retrieved.
With the spread of COVID-19 and many businesses now having employees working from home, data security should be a high priority. Telecommuting is not new, but in the past, not that many employers allowed their employees to work remotely.
When it comes to paying for goods and services, one growing segment is using mobile payments via our smartphones. However, many people still have concerns that mobile payments are not as secure or safe as how they are being promoted.
Unlike using a credit or debit card, there is no risk of a skimmer obtaining your card information. The card number you enter into the phone is encrypted and requires two-factor authentication when you tap your phone to make a payment.
When it comes to our smartphones, tablets, and computers, we upgrade these regularly. During the time we use the devices, we tend to collect a lot of data, music, videos, pictures, and other files we do not want to lose. To ensure you do not lose any of your data, let’s take a look at some effective ways on how to safely transfer data to your new device.
