Many businesses protect the activity of their workers on office computers using advanced cyber-security programs.

Home computers are unlikely to be as secure as office computers – most are only installed with basic antivirus programs, which cannot protect against complex cyber-attacks.

Additionally, home computers are often shared between family members, meaning a security breach on one family member’s account may compromise the security of all other accounts.

With more people working from home than ever before, cyber security measures are more important.
