Since the outbreak of COVID-19, many companies have had to change their mode of operation by requiring employees to work from home. However, many remote workers are quickly learning they can't do their job adequately because they don't have enough internet bandwidth.

In many industries, remote working is becoming an increasingly popular option for employees. But with the freedom and flexibility of working from home comes a new set of cybersecurity risks. Read on to learn security best practices for remote workers.

Whether you’re performing some light web browsing or doing graphics-intensive tasks, you’ll need a suitable laptop that can support your work from home requirements. When working remotely, your laptop is often your most important tool. It's the foundation of the work you take on and should match your individual and professional needs.

The COVID-19 pandemic forced millions of people in the United States and around the world to work from home. While there are various benefits to working from home, some may actually find it stressful. For instance, it can be taxing for some people to balance their professional and personal lives in one space.

Many people have been working from home since stay-at-home orders were enforced in Houston and across the United States in early 2020. While working remotely may have plenty of benefits, it also brings a few challenges for employees. In fact, a study by software company Atlassian found the following:

42% of people surveyed said that they believed that working remotely results in a longer workday

28% said that the quality of collaboration opportunities worsened compared to when they worked in the office

A majority of respondents said that they resent how their work has started to take over their home

With COVID-19 cases rising again due to the COVID-19 Delta variant, your employees will have to continue working from home indefinitely.
