What work from home security risks are companies overlooking?

[Frank.L]

With so many companies adopting permanent work from home policies, I'm concerned about work from home security risks that aren't being addressed. It's not just about VPNs and secure connections there are human factors too.

What are the biggest work from home security risks you're seeing? I'm thinking about things like family members using work devices, insecure home networks, or even visual information being captured during video calls.

How can companies effectively manage work from home security without being overly intrusive or creating policies that employees will just work around? And what responsibility should employees take for their own home network security?

Work from home security risks that companies overlook include insecure personal devices accessing corporate resources, family members overhearing confidential calls, and visual information leakage during video meetings (documents on desk, whiteboards in background).

Also, many employees use personal cloud storage for work files because it's more convenient, bypassing company security measures.

Companies should provide secure equipment and clear policies. Employees should secure their home network security and create a dedicated workspace. Regular security training should cover work from home specific risks.
