Update your software and operating systems
section_content: Here are nine things you can do in your new working environment to protect
your work and your household’s cyber security.
It is important to allow automatic updates on your devices and systems like
your computers, laptops, tablets and mobile phones. Often, software updates
(for operating systems and applications, for example) are developed to address
security issues. Updates also often include new security features that protect
your data and device.

Secure your devices when not in use
section_content: Here are nine things you can do in your new working environment to protect
your work and your household’s cyber security.
It’s much easier to access your information if other people have access to
your devices. Do not leave your device unattended and lock your computer when
not in use, even if it's only for a short period of time.
You should also carefully consider who has access to your devices. Don’t lend
laptops to children or other members of the household using your work profile
or account. They could unintentionally share or delete important information,
or introduce malicious software to your device.
If you do share your computers or devices with family or your household, have
separate profiles so that each person logs in with a unique username and
passphrase.

Use a Virtual Private Network (VPN)
section_content: Here are nine things you can do in your new working environment to protect
your work and your household’s cyber security.
Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections are a popular method to connect
portable devices to a work network. VPNs secure your web browsing and remote
network access.
Sometimes organisations specify that you use a VPN on work devices. If this is
the case, you should familiarise yourself with your organisation’s VPN
requirements, policies and procedures.
For more information on VPNs see advice from the Canadian Centre for Cyber
Security:
