Remote Work & WFH · 2026-03-15 · by Cybergate Technology
The main work-from-home threats are phishing and credential theft, unsecured home networks and devices, weak or reused passwords, and unpatched software. MFA, managed endpoints, patching and staff awareness address the large majority of them.
Phishing and account takeover
Remote staff are prime phishing targets. MFA, email filtering and awareness training are the core defences.
Unmanaged home devices
Personal or unpatched laptops are risky. Managed endpoint protection and patching - even on home machines - close this gap.
Weak passwords and shared accounts
Enforce strong, unique passwords (a password manager helps) and MFA everywhere.
Unsecured networks
Encourage secure home Wi-Fi and use encrypted access for sensitive systems. Cybergate secures remote and hybrid teams as part of managed IT.
