Additional steps to keep your home WI-FI use secure [1]
Data security is especially important when using a public Wi-Fi network because it prevents anyone else on the network from eavesdropping on your internet activity. However, VPNs enable greater privacy even when you connect to a secure, trusted Wi-Fi network.
Here are some more techniques to keep your work and personal information safe on your home network:
- Ensure there is a true business need for collecting personal information.
- Secure your home Wi-Fi router by using a strong, unique password and changing it regularly.
- Enable WPA2 encryption, which secures your network traffic with a unique encryption key.
- Check your internet service provider’s website for details on how to customize your Wi-Fi security settings.
