There are several measures for reducing the spread of the coronavirus. One of key defenses is social distancing. For many work places, this means asking staff to work remotely from home.

Many businesses began scrambling once Safer-At-Home and Stay-At-Home orders have been put in place. Though there is a rapid increase in remote working, there is equally a corresponding need to increase safe computer and Internet hygiene when connecting to work networks from home networks.

There has also been a surge in coronavirus-related phishing attacks and special care should be taken not to mix work devices with leisure devices.
