Network and data security is a often the primary consideration when it comes to supporting a telework program.
The extent to which security may be a concern for your organization is highly dependent upon the nature of the
business or organization, the type of work that may be done by teleworkers, and the sensitivity of the
information handled or accessed.
When thinking about security and mitigating risk to the organization and to the teleworker, consider security
technology and security training (Links Left) as well as a security policy.
If teleworkers need to connect to the corporate network or the internet, ensure the protection of the network
and organization data from outside threats through implementation of one or more technologies, such as
Firewalls, Antivirus Software, Virtual Private Networks, and Encryption Software.
