Secure Wifi Network Tips during the Coronavirus Outbreak
In 2019 alone, there were approximately 8.4 million Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, primarily targeting Internet-based services.
As the coronavirus 'pandemic' continues to evolve, businesses are allowing employees to work from home to limit exposure. Clearly, malicious actors may exploit this opportunity to carry out attacks, steal data, and engage in other malicious activities, impacting businesses.
Apart from businesses, other organizations and agencies may also be targets for malicious actors.
To avoid falling victim to attacks, here are some tips to keep your Wifi network secure:
- Consider using applications combined with VPNs, by utilizing SaaS-based services, resetting collaboration tools, etc. This will reduce reliance on VPN applications.
- Implement split tunnelling and policies that can allow assumptions in case you don't want employees to play games on company devices and want to block their access, ... .
- Learn about DDoS attacks even if you're not the target. This will give you additional knowledge and experience to avoid becoming a victim of such attacks.
Additionally, you should regularly change your wifi password for your home modem to prevent password theft and unauthorized access.
